After an unsuccessful upgrade from 12.04 LTS to 14.04, I am not allowed to login as it shows a black screen with message beginning with

Fontconfig error:"etc/fonts/conf.d/65-khmer.conf", line 14: out of memory.

How do i resolve this?

There are no other boot partitions on this system. No windows.

EDIT After removing the font as suggested. Fontconfig warnings are displayed

Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/89-tlwg-garuda-synthetic.conf",       line 9: Having multiple values in isn't supported and may not work as expected

Switch to tty1 Ctrl+Alt+F1, login and run this command:

sudo apt-get purge fonts-khmeros-core

It's a old bug and I assume, you don't need this font ;)
