Package: libcairo2
Version: 1.10.2-6.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainers,
I'm experiencing a render bug in iceweasel. I've been in touch with
the firefox developers, and they say that they fixed this issue by
patching cairo. They informed me that had I used the version of
cairo bundled with firefox that I would not have the rendering
issue.
The rendering bug is that when -moz-translate is used to rotate a
block containing text, often the individual characters are rendered
rightside up (though the position of the individual characters is
correctly rotated about the object's origin.) Also the characters
will tend to flicker between correct orientation and right-side up
as you select parts of the text with the mouse.

bug with example code and screenshots:

3. Direct link to a screenshot of broken text rendering (the
vertical word should have its characters sideways.)

If this cannot be fixed by changing the cairo source/package,
please reassign this bug to the iceweasel team.
Thank you! - Jason
