Package: libcairo2
Version: 1.12.14-2
Severity: normal

I upgraded libcairo2 from 1.12.2-3 to 1.12.14-2, and Firefox (version 20
from experimental, in case it matters) started rendering blurry text.
Downgrading back to 1.12.2-3 fixes the problem.

I managed to partially characterize the problem.  I can reliably
reproduce it on certain sites by hovering over a link that wraps between
lines.  It looks like doing so causes Firefox to re-draw most of the
text on those lines over itself, and the edges of the text get
progressively darker and each time Firefox re-renders, as though the
alpha-blended anti-aliased edges of the text render over themselves and
get darker.

The attached screenshot from xmag shows an example of this issue.  The
third line is part of the link I repeatedly hovered over to trigger the
issue.  The first and fourth lines look normal.  The second line got
re-rendered and thicker/darker.  In particular, compare the 'o' in the
second line to the 'o' in the third, or compare the 'ch' in the second
line to the 'ch' in the fourth.
