Yes, it's what I have collected from in Google search as well.

--------------------
* Pixmap (and bo leak) during fallback glyph composition

* Remove broken acceleration for rendering glyphs directly upon the
  destination pixmap, exposed by cairo-1.12.0 (and coincidentally fix
  another Pixmap leak upon fallback handling).
--------------------

Another for xorg-server 1.12.x:

https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/EXA_Fall_back_earlier_and_more_thoroughly_from_exaGlyphsV2.diff?h=packages/xorg-server

I can't reproduce any of bug here with nvidia-driver as I have been
running for three or four days by now with GNOME 2, Firefox 12 and
etc.
