Bug ID: 72515
Summary: Default CSS (rule loaded from ‘load.php’ uses “Linux
Libertine” font, thus misses “Linux Libertine O”
installed on Ubuntu.
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown

Linux Libertine comes in 2 varieties: TTF and OTF. The Wikipedia/MediaWiki CSS
(checked on English and German Wikipedias) use “Linux Libertine” as the font
for headings, then falling back to Georgia. I use Ubuntu 12.04, whose
repositories only have the OpenType version of Libertine fonts (which makes
sense as OTF format is simply better). To prevent confusion, Linux Libertine
folks use a ‘O’ suffix on their OpenType offerings, that is the fonts are named
as “Linux Libertine O.” So, even though I have LL fonts on my computer, the CSS
forces Georgia.
Ideally, the CSS should use “Linux Libertine O”, “Linux Libertine“, Georgia,
serif; as the rule. This is compatible both with legacy TTF systems (and MS
Windows) as well as up-to-date OpenType systems.
