Package: libpango1.0-0
Version: 1.12.3-2
Severity: normal

After a recent update (I don't know exactly when, I don't restart
firefox much) firefox seems to have lost it's ability to correctly
render fonts. I have two monitors, different size, but same resolution.
Firefox looks fine on the smaller one, but on the bigger one the fonts
looks like they're not antialiashed or they're rendered for different dpi.
I file this bug here because running with
MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 firefox
everything goes back to normal, the fonts are OK on both monitors.
