Hi,

So I downloaded the normal Kali Linux ISO for use on VirtualBox. I installed it, and it seemed fine.

I did "apt-get install -y virtualbox-guest-x11" and "apt-get dist-upgrade" after a "apt-get update." However, after a reboot, I'm encountering a weird, different font and an issue displaying certain titles. Guest additions (like shared folders) seem to be working fine.

Any help in fixing this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try this DrDinosaur:

apt-get --reinstall install fonts-cantarell
fc-cache -fv


Then reboot.

The font might still be different from a normal install, but that weird title issue is gone. No idea how you knew that. You are a wizard. Thank you.

I had the same issue after upgrading. The fix suggested by P373 solved the problem. Thanks
