Bug#1053965: libcairo2: Ugly Tahoma font rendering since version 1.17

[Zbynek Michl]

Package: libcairo2
Version: 1.16.0-7
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: zbynek.michl at gmail.com

Hello,

I have recently upgraded libcairo2 from 1.16.0 to 1.17.8 in my distro (Debian
Trixie). Since that rendering of Tahoma font in Xfce is broken.

Sample screenshots before and after the upgrade are attached.

I have found a similar issue reported here:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/64451

Thank you
Zbynek
