Android Studio SDK Manager Won't Start

I download the newest version of Android Studio from Google. You know there's something wrong to install it from AUR in China.
But when I click the SDK Manager button in Android Studio, the Manager does not start.
And then I go to the "android-studio/sdk/tools/" folder to run "./android"

$ ./android 
The program 'Android SDK Manager' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 1968 error_code 8 request_code 139 minor_code 4)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Some infomation:

$ uname -a
Linux arch 3.16.1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 14 07:40:19 CEST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks for your help:)

Re: Android Studio SDK Manager Won't Start

Did you recently do a  system update?

From searching around it seems like it's a graphical problem or a font problem.

Also maybe try running `./android --sync` just to see if there's a different output.

Re: Android Studio SDK Manager Won't Start

Thanks very much for your reply.

But It does not work, while shows as followed

$ ./android --sync
Error: Flag '--sync' is not a valid global flag. Did you mean to specify it after the verb/object name?

       Usage:
       android [global options] action [action options]
       Global options:
  -s --silent     : Silent mode, shows errors only.
  -v --verbose    : Verbose mode, shows errors, warnings and all messages.
     --clear-cache: Clear the SDK Manager repository manifest cache.
  -h --help       : Help on a specific command.
