Not an expert on that either, but something seems amiss: The failure you posted earlier is in the Russian translation but the build file doesn't appear to call for Russian (or Portuguese, though that doesn't have a font problem. It does seem to be substituting the Japanese fonts and Russian also requires special fonts.

Maybe you should contact the package maintainer for help.
