dwm xsetroot status bar font is scrambled/not found

Hi all,

have been running arch on my Lenovo T400 with dwm for 3 years now. My dwm is a local install, not from the repos. Havnt changed a thing in the past years.

Since a recent upgrade (7-10 days ago), my statusbar is completely scrambled. It consists mainly of rectangles as if the font could not be found.
The status bar runs via xsetroot.

My dwm config.h has:

static const char font[]            = "-*-terminus-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*";

Weirdly dmenu does not show this problem, although it has the same font setting (but is a repo install)

What could be wrong here??
