Package: ttf-linux-libertine Version: 4.4.1-1 Severity: normal I can confirm this behaviour, too. If I select "Linux Libertine" instead of "Linux Libertine O" in OpenOffice.org 3.0.1, it is bold by default.
$ fc-match "Linux Libertine" LinLibertine_Bd.ttf: "Linux Libertine" "Bold" It seems that there is a generic problem with fontnaming and fontconfig which confuses other applications, too. My main problem is when using XeLaTeX with "Linux Libertine O" as main font, fontspec complains that it can't find the bold style, resulting in everything being typeset in regular. Bold and italics at the same time works however: Package fontspec Info: Could not resolve font Linux Libertine O/B (it might not exist) on input line 5. It's even worse if i use "Linux Libertine" as main font, resulting in everything typeset in bold and the following complaints: Package fontspec Info: Could not resolve font Linux Libertine/B (it might not exist) on input line 4. Package fontspec Info: Could not resolve font Linux Libertine/I (it might not exist) on input line 4. Package fontspec Info: Could not resolve font Linux Libertine/BI (it might not exist) on input line 4. Attached is a minimal example.
