[Bug 804249] Re: fontconfig-2.8.0-2.2ubuntu1 causes font rendering regression in Firefox

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package fontconfig - 2.8.0-3ubuntu1

---------------
fontconfig (2.8.0-3ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Restore Debian delta, mistakenly dropped in the previous sync
    (LP: #804249):
    - fix buildd bustage by ignoring errors in postinst and prerm (taken
      from debian NMU by Riku Voipio <riku.voipio at iki.fi>)
      - add debian/fontconfig.prerm
      - update debian/fontconfig.postinst
    - debian/fontconfig-config.postinst: drop debconf transition;
      we remove conf.d links for hinting, subpixel and bitmap configs
      and stop looking at debconf, excluding 70-no-bitmaps.conf.
    - debian/fontconfig-config.postinst: also exclude 70-no-bitmaps.conf
      from "drop debconf transition" to ensure that it doesn't get removed
      automatically
      - keep adding it in CONF_FILES through 07_no_bitmaps.patch as well.
    - debian/patches/00_old_diff_gz.patch:
      - add MgOpen Moderna family to 40-nonlatin.conf
      - reorder Bitstream Vera and DejaVu families in 60-latin.conf
    - debian/patches/00_old_diff_gz.patch,
      debian/patches/04_ubuntu_monospace_lcd_filter_conf.patch,
      debian/patches/05_ubuntu_add_hinting_and_antialiasing_confs.patch:
      - add extra config files:
        - antialias and hinting.
        - 52-languageselector.conf
        - 53-monospace-lcd-filter.conf
    - debian/patches/05_lcdfilterlegacy.patch: Recognize const value
      "lcdfilterlegacy", introduced before upstream did introduce "lcdlegacy"
    - debian/patches/06_ubuntu_lcddefault.patch: set lcddefault as default
    - drop debian/fontconfig-config.templates, debian/fontconfig-config.config,
      and associtated po files.
    - purge debconf database when upgrading from previous versions.

  After upgrading to fontconfig-2.8.0-2.2ubuntu1 (and
