Thread: Different font and nonexistent characters after upgrade

    Different font and nonexistent characters after upgrade

    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:
    Code:
    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.
