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.
Why does loading the default font fail?
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.
A Fix is now in portage. Thanks
