I checked the version of the Guest Additions in the Linux Mint virtual machines and the Blurry Problem is apparently caused by the 7.0.22 Version of the guest additions. See the earlier post to see the blurry text. Have a look at the GA versions in the following logs:
This is the earlier version of Linux Mint with Guest Additions 7.0.6. Text is not blurry because the window can be resized to fit the screen resolution.
