Bug#666736: iceweasel: Corrupt text rendering after 10.0.3esr-3

[Nicos Gollan]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 11.0-4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After updating from 10.0.3esr-2 to 10.0.3esr-3, I am seeing a lot of
corrupted text rendering. Spans of text (like a line, a range from the
beginning of a line up to a change in formatting, ...) will be randomly
corrupted, ranging from strong slanting like the pitch of a pixmap is
wrong, to complete garbage instead of text. On some pages like iGoogle,
the exact location and nature of the corruption changes with DOM events.

I tried updating to 11.0-4 from experimental with no effect.

Running in safe mode does not change things.

Iceweasel is so far the only application that's affected.
