It's hard to say with the level of details you have here.
If you're using the spice protocol and you have the guest agent (spice-vdagent)
installed inside the VM then you'll be able to cut and paste in graphical consoles.

Oops, I apologize. I am using virt-install as follows to create the
virtual machines and I am connecting to the virtual machines from a
different physical machine using virt-manager or virt-viewer via SSH. I
thought this combination was sharing the clipboard when everything was
on Fedora 18, but since upgrading to Fedora 19 the clipboard does not
seem to be shared.
