This font problem is related to your disk being
full, or either to a wrong set of permissions
in the directories where TeXmacs (i.e., Metafont)
should be able to compile the fonts.

strace would tell you more, in this respect (i.e.,
you would be able to see the write and/or open
operations which fail, and the path of the related
directories, as well).

Menu entry:
Edit->Preferences->Printer->Font type->Type 1 only

But to do this, you must first be able to start TeXmacs once...
