That's not gdm's log, it's X's log.  And you're suffering from the dreaded
"can't find the fixed font" dilemma.

To fix:

10:07PM|-> *apt* fonts.alias
10:07PM|*apt* somebody said fonts.alias was run "update-fonts-alias misc" if
              your fonts.alias is missing for the misc dir, or try "dpkg -i
              --force-confmiss /var/cache/apt/archives/xfonts-base_<TAB>"

That'll fix it.
