[Fabian Kantereit <fabi2607@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I could reproduce the error on a Debian based qemu-kvm host, running a
Lubuntu guest with qxl/spice. After increasing the resolution several
letter disappeared from the LXDE menu (e.g. w, u, p).

However, I could work around the Issue by deactivating text anti-
aliasing in LXDE.

Title:
  Missing letters in spice client session with KVM guest

Status in xserver-xorg-video-qxl package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in xserver-xorg-video-qxl package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Host: Xubuntu 13.04
  Guest: Xubuntu 14.04 with qxl graphics

  When connecting to a KVM guest via Spice client characters are not
  displayed (in graphical mode), to such extent that messages become
  unreadable/guest becomes unusable.

  This bug was reported and kind of resolved for Red Hat/Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=974198
  The mentioned workaround to add kernel parameter nomodeset worked for me up to now.

  Proposed resolution: Upgrade Debian/Ubuntu package to an up-to-date
  upstream release.
