In iceweasel, an apparently random selection of characters appears
misrendered on some websites. A screenshot is attached. The
incorrectly-appearing character(s) change to the correct character when
selected or after scrolling off the screen. This behavior persists with
all add-ons disabled.

src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
