I think it is both. I installed a "user font" (that was from the source)
and that appeared on the user level... but the system had a font called
"Linux Libertine G" which is native to LibreOffice (the WYSIWYG I use for
docs).

"Linux Libertine G" is the name of the font. I've used it in typesetting
.ly things on my Windows machine... and I think the "G" stands for
"Graphite" which is a typesetting feature of LibreOffice's kerning and
advanced typesetting features in the typesetting toolbar. LLG is what comes
with LibreOffice.



Sincerely,

Josh
