Bug Description
(Content copied from "Ubuntu 14.10 ISO live boot ends up with a corrupted display" #13615 VirtualBox bug ticket, by piotrjurkiewicz)
Booting up live session of Ubuntu MATE 14.10 and Ubuntu Gnome 14.10 from ISO ends up with a corrupted screen. See the screenshot:
https:/
Switching back and forth to the tty7 (ctrl+alt+F1 and then alt+F7) fixes the display.
I think that this might be a problem with resolution setting:
```
00:00:31.226379 Display:
00:00:31.226399 UIFrameBuffer:
00:00:31.226457 UIFrameBufferQI
00:00:31.226467 UIFrameBufferQI
```
After switching back and forth to the tty7 (what fixes the display) the log says:
```
00:00:31.226379 Display:
00:00:31.226399 UIFrameBuffer:
00:00:31.226457 UIFrameBufferQI
00:00:31.226467 UIFrameBufferQI
00:01:37.584616 Display:
00:01:37.584634 UIFrameBuffer:
00:01:37.584680 UIFrameBufferQI
00:01:37.584692 UIFrameBufferQI
00:01:39.055475 Display:
00:01:39.055495 UIFrameBuffer:
00:01:39.055559 UIFrameBufferQI
00:01:39.055568 UIFrameBufferQI
```
I have tested 4.3.18 and also the testbuild 4.3.19 r96825, it happens on both of them.

Please see comment 1[1] and 14[2] on that ticket. We believe that this is a problem in setfont, not in VirtualBox (or Ubuntu for that matter).
