[SOLVED] Openbox crashing repeatadly

After a fresh install of Arch Linux, I installed Openbox as a WM but it crashes every time I run startx. It says "how are you gentlemen all your base OS belong to us (Openbox received signal 11). I've tried changing the config for Xorg, changing the drivers, and reinstalling Arch, but nothing worked.

Please post your xinitrc and check "man coredumpctl" on whether openbox left one behind.
One possible cause (though not sure it segfaults) is that you forgot to install a font package.

Yeah, it turned out to be a problem with the fonts. After reinstalling them, Openbox starts up just fine! Thank you!
