I can reproduce this on ubuntu with unity as a guest when using a
resolution above 1024x768 in a guest in ubuntu 14.04 and with a daily
iso of 15.04. I have only reproduced this in lubuntu  if I installed a
composite manager compton and set resolution above 1024x768. Lubuntu
14.10 vms in spice did not immediatly trigger the bug with high
resolution. killing compton and logging out and the display turns back
to normal.

Title:
  Missing letters in spice client session with KVM guest

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-qxl” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
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.
