In Ubuntu execution of rule

bios or user defined. To avoid this, you must set up the consoles after
loading the module. This can be done by adding simple rule to
/etc/udev/rules.d/60-vboxadd.rules:
SUBSYSTEM=="graphics", ATTR{name}=="vboxdrmfb", RUN+="console-setup-tty
fbcon"
Let's see if I have understood what this is about. My guess from the
above is that if console-setup-tty is executed before vboxvideo is
loaded that it will load the fonts into the basic terminal and not the
fbcon subsystem, and that therefore fbcon will not see the user defined
fonts. Is that correct?
Yes that's correct.
Does this work with other drm frame-buffer drivers? If so I would be
interested to know what we they are doing that we are not. And if not
this is more likely Ubuntu's bug than ours.

Ubuntu seem to have some timing problems with console-setup-tty
generally - sometimes when Ubuntu is run inside of VirtualBox - without
Additions - it can run after the X server has started and spoil the X
server's graphics mode<1>.
