Installing VBOXADDITIONS_5.0.20 destroys Chrome 50 and some system fonts -> duplicate of #15417

Description

After upgrading to VirtualBox 5.20 I upgraded the guest additions after which Google Chrome 50.x displayed all content in black and white squares and the window was corrupt (had to close by blindly clicking on X). No resolution after reboot.

Fonts for open apps (terminal, folders) changed to block characters.

Guest is Linux Mint latest.

Downgrading Guest Additions to VBOXADDITIONS_5.0.16_10587 fixed the problems.

Can confirm with the 5.0.22 guest additions. Workaround: Launch Chrome with --disable-gpu, and disable hardware acceleration in the preferences.

Duplicate of #15417.

Downgrading the Additions works because 3D does not even start with Chrome with that version. The current Additions are working enough to cause problems with Chrome, but not enough to really work.

Please see the wiki page regarding user contributions to X11 guest 3D support.
