Comment 169 for bug 1010794

That bugs criticity just jumped hugely for me, as libcairo 1.10 is no more available in Debian Testing.

On my configuration, almost all texts are complettly corrupted for Gtk application (firefoxe, gnometerm, thunderbird, eclipse, etc), making my system mostly unusable.

Performance are also awfull, what was not the case with libcairo-1.10.

I don't know if the bug is or not in libcairo, but *clearly*, that's something that appeared with libcairo-1.12, as it is the only modification on my system between yesterday and today.

I don't use a Radeon card but a nvidia one. System info (pur Debian Sid):

* 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G98 [GeForce 9300M GS] (rev a1)
* xserver-xorg: 1:7.6+12
* xserver-xorg-core: 2:1.12.1-2
* xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: 1:0.0.16+git20120322+ab7291d-1
* libcairo2:amd64: 1.12.2-1

Hope it helps,
