Virtual Machine Manager (VMM or virt-Manager) is GUI tool to manage the KVM hypervisors. This tool can be installed on KVM hosts or in remote system to manage the VM’s. When I tired to access the virt-manager via SSH X11 forwarding on RHEL 7.2 , I got the GUI without any fonts (or with junk letters). Redhat should make the required fonts packages to link “virt-manager” package dependencies to prevent the problem.

To fix the issue, you must install the required fonts for VMM. In RHEL 7.2 , I have installed the following fonts which has fixed my issue.
[root@UA-KVM1 ~]# yum install ghostscript-fonts.noarch urw-fonts.noarch Loaded plugins: product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.
