Typically only security fixes and some other time critical stuff[1] is backported to stable. You could figure out what package has the issue and backport it yourself to Jessie. 1. https://wiki.debian.org/StableUpdates > Btw, the font rendering is slightly better in testing (gtk apps mostly).

Apparently by default iceweasel uses non-true type fonts: <fontconfig> ... <!-- Helvetica is a non true type font, and will look bad. This replaces it with whatever is the default sans-serif font --> <match target="pattern"> <test name="family" qual="any" > <string>Helvetica</string> </test> <edit mode="assign" name="family" > <string>sans-serif</string> </edit> </match> ... </fontconfig>
