Hi,
I'm new to Ubuntu, however I suspect though the error might be due to the age and spec of the PC I installed Ubuntu on.
Thanks
Tim

From the terminal, run each command below, one by one, in that order:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libxfont
That should fix your issue; if so, then set 'status' to 'invalid'
