Problem font with VirtualBox from a terminal in Red Hat 6.2

[fornesi]

Hi, When we launched VirtualBox, we had only "squares" on the GUI.

[root# VirtualBox 
Xlib:  extension "SYNC" missing on display "10.102.130.2:32.0".

And firstable, we had a failed installation with vboxpci

[root@opisidb1 log]# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

I would like to see a screen shot. Please also attach the /var/log/vbox-install.log file to this ticket.

I had same problem on CentOS 6.3 x86_64 - installation of fontforge fixed this issue

$ sudo yum install fontforge
