The same happened after I installed an nvidia GeForce FX5500 graphics board (I had VGA, but I needed DVI)
Running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with older nvidia-173 driver

Title:
  console (before X) fonts unreadable

Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  since the upgrade to natty, my console fonts are completely
  unreadable, it looks like the amount of black and white pixels is the
  same but they have randomly moved around in each character

  this happens before X has started the first time, and after switching
  from X back to console

  logging in and executing commands works - but you cannot read anything
  and must exactly know what you want to type

  (this is especially a problem if your X was broken too by the upgrade
  and you try to fix your X using the non-decipherable console)
