Weird font on Ubuntu 22.04 Virtual Machine (with software rendering)

[PiotrNap]

Describe the bug
There seem to be an issue with how characters are rendered. First I saw this issue. Which is exactly what I'm seeing however I do have software rendering already enabled. That's why I decided to create a new issue hoping you may have an idea what could be wrong.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a new Ubuntu 22.04 VM with VirtualBox
2. Enable software rendering (in my case VMSVGA) and 3d acceleration
3. Install Kitty
4. See error

Additional context
Try to reproduce the problem with kitty --config NONE... yep, this didn't helped neither.

Thanks in advance

This will be an issue with the GPU drivers, you will need to either fix
them or use software rendering. If that is not working then youa re out
of luck.
