This is most likely only a warning, and not an error. Xwin does the same
about /tmp/.X11-unix for example.
If you want to get rid of it you need a user root with uid 0 in
/etc/passwd and then change the owner of .font-unix to root.

But i doubt that this is the reason for xfs not starting. Btw only few
applications require a font server these days.
