Yeah, this looks to me like your setup is attempting to load (or build??) a
font as part of the compilation process.  As far as I know, that is not
something that should be required when compiling an Org document
exported to LaTeX with the default options.

What are the values of your

org-latex-default-packages-alist
org-latex-packages-alist
org-latex-pdf-process

variables?  And what does the header of the exported .tex file look
like?

I guess the way to debug this is to remove the packages that are loaded
in the exported .tex file, one at a time, until you discover the one
that is at fault here.  (If it's not some particular package, but
rather TeX/LaTeX itself that's trying to use METAFONT, I think you're in
deeper waters...)

Best,
Richard
