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.

You can try adding this to your ~/.fonts.conf.  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>
