As discussed some time ago in #-amd64-dev and #-games, this is actually a bug.

The proposed patch works fine, although it hides the actual bug, which is that
xblockout crashes when it tries to set a fallback font after the default fails.

------- Comment #7 From Tristan Heaven 2008-07-21 21:29:51 0000 ------- 
Why does loading the default font fail?

------- Comment #8 From Santiago M. Mola 2008-07-22 16:48:34 0000 ------- 
Honestly, I don't know. If you want to check in your arch, try:

# xbl -bigfont '-*-*-*-r-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' -font
'-*-*-*-r-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1'

If you see "Some problems when loading a font... trying others"... you have it.

iirc on x86 it wasn't a problem because the fallback font was loaded
successfully.

amd64 keyword dropped.
