Package: fontconfig-config
Version: 2.6.0-3
Followup-For: Bug #506552

I've just upgraded to 2.6.0-3 myself, and I'm seeing what I think is the
same problem - but it's much more prominent in icedove than in iceweasel.

I do not see the problem on the sites mentioned in the bug report, but I do
see it in any plain-text file (displayed as fixed-width), and in any E-mail
message displayed as plain text. Other unexpected font changes are visible
on almost every page in Iceweasel, but not all of them are bad, and some
might even be improvements.

If I set font hinting to something below "hintfull" in fonts.conf (or the
user-specific equivalent), the problem gets visibly worse, but of course
there is no higher hinting level which might potentially fix the problem.

I upgraded to latest sid this morning on all installed packages without
outstanding bugs against them, and the problem first manifested after that.
I have been in the habit of so upgrading at least once a week and
occasionally more than once a day, but had not done so for a month or two
because my root-partition HD was having problems and I didn't want to take
risks.
