The "Unknown font: descriptfont" (which is preventing the OSD from 
showing is because you have a broken OSD theme.  Which one is this 
happening with?  Note that Retro-wide is (an old, not supported on 
0.23-fixes) *UI* theme--not an OSD theme.  The OSD theme almost 
definitely has the letters "OSD" in its name.  I'm guessing you have an 
old, 3rd party OSD theme, and not one of the known-working themes from 
the mythtv or myththemes packages.  I'll bet if you change the *OSD* 
Theme to BlackCurves-OSD, everything will work fine.

The "OSD, Error: A CC708 font is missing" is because you've changed one 
or more of the "ATSC Caption Fonts" settings in mythfrontend settings 
under TV Playback (and have it set to an invalid font).
