Thanks for your comments, Martin.
I for one haven't considered extensive testing yet. The reason for the proposal is to prevent a regression wrt Chinese rendering (due to new default font), and we have a positive report from a Chinese user at bug #1468027 (comment #105).
As regards your last question, no changes were made to debian/control, so AFAICT going back to 2.11.1 if necessary would be easy.
The reporter of this bug report, Mingye Wang, has identified a bunch of upstream commits (attached as patches to this bug report), and patching 2.11.1 with them *might* be an alternative to upgrading. We haven't tested that approach successfully yet. However, given the number of commits that would need to be cherry picked, I'm not sure it would be a safer solution.
