Hi. There are currently three merged bugs open against libcairo, all of
them forwarded to upstream #7494:

  #376714: Cairo 1.2.0 fonts disappear after first word
  #377147: firefox: text rendering badly damaged
  #378005: libcairo2 problem with non-anti-aliased text

As can be read in upsream #7494, only the disappearing text in
non-antialiasing mode is being considered there, so I am unmerging
#377147, and will follow-up to it separately.

I've also rebuilt libcairo2 applying the patch provided by upstream [1],
and I confirm it solves the disappearing text problem. Since I really
think that bug makes the package unreleasable, I've raised its severity
to serious.

HTH,

All this reminds me why I hate the debian bug system.  wtf was all that?

Thanks for testing the patch that was created while I was sleep 7 hours ago.
 I can't really have been expected to do that myself :)  I'll consider
applying it, but I'll see if a new upstream release is imminent.  I am
tracking the upstream bugs closely.
