This is where Linux Libertine G comes in. Although it is modeled after
Times, it's not quite as condensed, so it works better for longer
documents. But, with LO, one has access to all sorts of expert effects,
making it a full featured typeface. While I might prefer a different
font, I'd rather use Libertine to full effect than a less complete
Garamond.
Another excellent free typeface is OFL Sorts Mill Goudy. It uses old
style numbering by default. But, it lacks a boldface font.

I haven't followed this thread closely, but I need a little more
information on the Linux libertine font. Here's what I find on my
PCLINUXOS distro using filefinder for *libertine* :
file:///opt/libreoffice3.6/share/fonts/truetype/LinLibertine_RZ_G.ttf
file:///opt/libreoffice3.6/share/fonts/truetype/LinLibertine_RI_G.ttf

Doug,
Can you be a little more specific about what information you need?
Virgil
What are all these fonts? From reading the thread, I got the impression
that there was just *one* libertine font. What is the one
like Goudy? (sp?) What is the one that looks like Times?
I don't even know what the various "book" fonts are. Libertine was
supposed to be such a wonderful thing--well which one is the wonderful
one? Which one comes closest to the font that most modern fiction is
published in? (Whatever that's called.) Is there a tutorial about these
wonderful fonts someplace?
Whatever is the "wonderful" one, I'll try it and see if is appeals to
me over just everyday Times-Roman.
Thanx--doug
