Bug ID: 135788
Summary: Substitute fonts Linux Libertine and Linux Biolinum
with Libertinus
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Installation
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: joaopauloag-freedesk...@yahoo.com.br
The fonts Linux Libertine and Linux Biolinum were made by the Libertine Open
Fonts Project, which don't update them since 2012-07-06
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxlibertine/files/).
Even the Graphite variants of those fonts, Linux Libertine G and Linux Biolinum
G, don't have an update since 2012-01-16
(https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/3.5#Writer shows that the
Graphite variants were from http://www.numbertext.org/linux/).
Khaled Hosny forked the Linux Libertine font family in 2012 from the latest
release 5.3.0, expanded it and released its first updated version in 2016 with
unified font names Libertinus: Libertinus Sans (from Linux Biolinum),
Libertinus Serif (from Linux Libertine) and Libertinus Mono (from Linux
Libertine Mono). This info is from
"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Libertine#Derivative_works";. The
Libertinus font family is still being updated as of 2020
(https://github.com/alerque/libertinus).
Please remove the Linux Libertine G and Linux Biolinum G font families from the
.MSI package for installation on Windows and substitute them with the
Libertinus font families. Another way to improve would be removal of the fonts
from the main .MSI package and creating an ancillary .MSI package with just the
current and legacy fonts (the current would be installed by default and the
legacy would have to be selected by the user at install time).
