Linux Libertine G (and Biolinum G) includes lots of Graphite substitution tables like automated ligature substitution, kerning, italic correction, real small caps... the list of smart font features is just impressive (just look at the Documentation.pdf on the site) so the "G" version is far more useful on Writer than the opentype one.
