Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-libertine
Please update ttf-linux-libertine package - Libertine and Biolinum fonts were updated in 2010 and 2011 - please package version 5.0.0 or later, see:
http://
Bellow are changes from current Ubuntu version 4.4.1 to version 4.7.0 (20100430):
- All styles: Reported bugs fixed.
- Libertine regular:
- added missing anchors for i, idieresis, ccaron, scaron
- added missing characters accent uni0364 and glyph uni1D15
- completed combining accented chars block 0300-036F
-ij-Ligature more space between the glyphs, dot of j is slightly higher
-i,j,... more distinctive dotaccent and higher position
-r,f,j,y changes in the drop, which became more distinctive
- h slightl wider
- e slightly wider
- moved [a-z].superior from PUA to dedicated Unicode positions
- crossed form of W for new Wikipedia-logo
- Biolinum Bold: numerous improvements in following glyphs:
- a, i, j, ä, ö, ü...
- w, v, e, f, ß, c, m, n, b, d, s
- kerning faults corrected
- numbers 0 - 9
- komma , hyphen -, numbersign #
- A-Z slightly thinner verticals
- R, P better bows
- added small cyrillic m (uni043C) to Biolinum and some other missing cyrillics (not yet all done...)
- Inverted Interrobang (uni2E18) added
- Add Substitution/
- macroncmb (uni0304) had a wrong positioned mark anchor and was thus flying much to high
- Problems with Fractions (ID 2665656): without a contextual chaining substitution fractions like 1/7 or 1/10, that don't have a concrete Unicode-posistion, were unavailible. Now solved via contextual chaining substitution.
- bold: ck, ch-ligature's part characters were a bit close. Now some more space between them
- diacritic U+031A was wrongly placed. Is now being positioned above-right. New anchor is called top_rechts
- corrected s_t-ligature in biolinum bold
Ingo Preuss points out thatsome glyphs were wrongly named:
- uni0237 is now called dotlessj (instead of uniF6BE, which was wrongly named
this way)
- all references to dotlessj now point to uni0237
In the following cases names were corrected, unicode points stayed unchanged
- tcommaaccent (uni0163) is now called tcedilla
- Tcommaaccent (uni0162) is now called Tcedilla
- uni021B is now called tcommaaccent
- uni021A is now called Tcommaaccent
- the locl-OpenType-
- orthogonal is now called uni221F
- sun is now called uni263C
- I had to move that .cap-variants of the accents to the PUA, because they covered space where Unicode in between defined new characters. So I systematically moved the .cap-Accents to:
grave.cap uni0358 -> uniE358
acute.cap uni0359 -> uniE359
circumflex.cap and so forth
caron.cap
breve.cap
hungarumla
space_
breveinver
breve.cyrcap 360
breve.cyr
dieresis.cap
hookabovec
dotaccent.cap
(regular, italic)
- new point accent at uni0358
- new Mark for uni0358 in many O/o-characters
- improved support for POJ (Taiwan transcription)
- now kerning for kernclasspair p.sc + a.sc
- first use of contextual chaining substitution:
- when a combining accent follows an i, the dotlessi is used to prevent an accent crash
- when one of the accented or leftwarding glyphs such as (ä, V) follow an f, a short neck version of f (f.alt) is being used for optical reasons
- Added U+033B COMBINING SQUARE BELOW
- there was the "space" in a left kern class (together with dot, etc.). This resulted in too few visible room when a "space" should seperate a word from the now beginning quotation.
Italic: Correction of schwa

Ubuntu packages of new version linux-libertine (and Biolinum) fonts are available at Baltix GNU/Linux repository - ppa:baltix/ppa (for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS), see:
https:/ /launchpad. net/~baltix/ +archive/ ppa
Are there any chances to sync new linux-libertine packages from Debian? New version fixed many bugs, it would be nice to have better libertine fonts in Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty).
