That worked like charm.

Lower case f and a are good examples for the difference between slanted and italics, but that doesn't hurt my students much.

The only question is, whether regular italics should be true italics or slanted? (See attached minimal example)

Thanks.

Maybe you are seeing Linux Biolinum Slanted O Bold, 
/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/libertineotf/LinBiolinum_aBL.otf…
 (check for example lower-case f)

You could try to mix Biolinum O (regular) and Biolinum O Bold with Biolinum 
Slanted O and Biolinum Slanted O Bold…
