Forwarding Debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/742510 >8------------------------------------------------------8< to reproduce install a jessie/sid qemu VM with Cirrus video card. On VM: # apt-get install xdm # echo /usr/bin/xdm >/etc/X11/default-display-manager # /etc/init.d/xdm restart Username one types in will not be displayed and once pressed enter greeting and prompt fonts will not be displayed as well. # apt-get install devscripts # debsnap -v -d. --binary -a amd64 xserver-xorg-video-cirrus 1:1.4.0-2 # dpkg -i --force-depends xserver-xorg-video-cirrus_1.4.0-2_amd64.deb # /etc/init.d/xdm restart Downgrading to 1.4.0-2, fonts are displayed well. Another workaround is switching to standard VGA card. |_built_on_|___version___|_fonts_rendering_| | sid | 1.4.0 (*) | > BUG < | | sid | 1.5.2 | > BUG < | | wheezy | 1.4.0 | OK | |__wheezy__|___1.5.2_____|_______OK________| (*) backported few patches to make it build Plus, by mousing over where characters should be, they appear. >8------------------------------------------------------8<
