Regardless of your personal opinions about what font packages are sane to install, the problem turned out to be that xarchon was requesting a standard bitmap font in a non-standard size, and the user's X server had font scaling disabled. So it should work on systems with sane configurations. For other systems, it would work if it was modified to use scalable fonts, and this would make it look nicer even on systems where it already runs fine. Unfortunately, it seems to be dead upstream.
