    Font Problems - Ubuntu or VMWare Fusion on Mac?

    Seeing some font weirdness. Ubuntu version 17.10 (have noticed this in prior versions as well), running on VMWare Fusion 8.5.8 on a new iMac on macOS High Sierra 10.13. Examples include right-click menu on desktop items, like Trash:



    And most commonly in Google Chrome, especially in Google Docs:



    That's not "censored" text in those cells, that's how it actually displays. Font appears fine when entering into cell, but as soon as I enter or click out, it looks like black blocks.

    Thoughts? Is this a Google Chrome issue (as, ironically, Google Docs appear fine in a NON-Chrome browser, like Firefox), a VMWare Fusion issue, or an Ubuntu issue? I'd say it was new with 17.10, but as I've said, I've noticed this for quite some time now.

    Try booting into an X11 session instead of wayland, assuming the mac system has that option the same as a standard PC, and that both are available in VMware, to see if wayland is perhaps the problem.
