I am trying to install oracle 12c release 2 on my centos 7 machine but the the installer screen does not render font or options. It just a blank screen i see where I cannot select any option and proceed. Did someone else also face the same issue? Any help will be appreciated.

Can you post the source that says that Oracle 12c is supported on Centos?

Dude!

Although Centos 7 isn't supported, as top.gun mentioned, it isn't the problem.

I suspect an issue with video hardware acceleration and lack of support by your video driver.

What is your Centos 7 machine?

Keep in mind that Enterprise Linux has very limited support for desktop and laptops. If your hardware isn't supported, try virtualization, such as VMware or free Virtualbox.

Dude!

Btw, if your hardware isn't supported you'll essentially run into various issues, but to fix the X display you might want to try adding nomodeset the the kernel boot parameter. What this does is to prevent using the kernel video driver during early startup, which will force X to use PC BIOS modes and common resolution without video acceleration.

Did you add your server host name and ip  in /etc/hosts file?

That would effect network routing, not display rendering.  Especially if the display is, as the OP demonstrated, at least partially rendered.

Dude!

Although the initial problem does not describe the exact same issue, it might also be worth noting
