You selected the default No option here.

You didn't translate the whole thing. For future notice, if you want to
describe the output in English you should use

sudo LC_ALL=C pacman -Syu

This will print *everything* in English.

pacman -Syu tried to install it as a brand-new dependency of
xorg-fonts-100dpi, but in order to do that you need to remove
xorg-fonts-alias.

When pacman prompted you to remove xorg-fonts-alias, you said "no".
