I haven't had this problem, but since you've upgraded your kernel, it
might help to run: 

/opt/vmware/player/bin/vmware-config.pl

which can reset font paths and such. You may also wish to remerge the
player, and see if that helps.
Sorry, I couldn't be of more assistance, but maybe these simple steps
can solve your problem.
