Errors during boot on Yoga 12

[Linuxgamer0123]

When I boot into linux mint on my Lenovo Yoga 12 I get two errors:

"Error: font: glyphs too large to fit on screen."

"[0.076552] DMAR: [Firmware Bug]: No firmware reserved region can cover this RMRR [0x00000000cdB00000-0x00000000cfffffff], contact BIOS vendor for fixes"

Not sure how to fix both errors.

Thanks in advance for anyone has a solution.

Welcome to the forum, Linuxgamer0123.

Could you explain what problem you are having using Mint?

Messages on the screen are messages and not necessarily problems. For example, the second one you posted says right in the message to "contact BIOS vendor for fixes". That means a BIOS/UEFI update is the way to fix the issue and if your computer's manufacturer does not release an update to address it, then the message will continue to show.

As far as the first error about glyphs, you have not provided any information about how Mint sees your hardware as explained in Section 5 of READ: How To Get Help!. Please provide that system data and an explanation of the problem you are experiencing due to glyph size.

First thing when I turn on my laptop I see is "Error: font: glyphs too large to fit on screen."

Yoga 12 is updated to latest bios already.
This error appeared after I updated the lastest kernal through Update manager.
"[0.076552] DMAR: [Firmware Bug]: No firmware reserved region can cover this RMRR [0x00000000cdB00000-0x00000000cfffffff], contact BIOS vendor for fixes"

When you first turn on the computer, the BIOS/UEFI runs and then after that grub runs to start the operating system. Linux Mint does not have control of your computer's BIOS/UEFI, so if it really happens "first thing" then the issue may not be related to Mint.

I already explained to you that the log line means exactly what it says. The Linux kernel found an issue with your computer's BIOS/UEFI and the only way to fix it would be through a BIOS update. The Linux kernel does not make any changes to a computer's BIOS. The Linux kernel only lets you know when it finds issues with the BIOS.

Your computer's BIOS is controlled by Lenovo. It is possible Lenovo does not care if the BIOS meets the normal specs that the Linux kernel looks for. That means you should just ignore this message if you already have the latest BIOS.

Fixed the DMAR Error by disabling Virtualization Intel VT-D in the bios.

Still can't figure out how to fix "Error: font: glyphs too large to fit on screen." when I boot to linux mint.
This is a of the error above.

Do you still face any problems running Mint? If not the on screen errors may be neglected.

When in the boot process does this error appear? Is it before or after the login screen?

Are you having any problems with Mint not loading on your computer (is anything to big and you have to scroll or is something not showing on the screen that should be)?

[Linuxgamer0123]

Before the login screen. It started appeared on the newest update of linux mint.

No problems when using Linux mint.

Everyone updates at different times, so I do not know what the "newest update" might be. It's possible it relates to a package you have installed that others may not have installed? I do not have any ideas what may be causing it.

Increased the resolution under GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 to native resolution of my laptop screen 1920x1080 in sudo gedit /etc/default/grub to get rid of the "Error: font: glyphs too large to fit on screen."
