Hi George!

When you say "the text", *which* text exactly do you mean? Text in the
virt-manager app itself? Text in the VMs?

"Tiny boxes with numbers" in them are usually indicating a character
which the font rendering engine cannot find a font with a
representation of. The numbers are the character's Unicode code point.
This can happen if the characters are in an alphabet you don't have a
font for, or if they're some kind of symbol set you don't have a font
for.
