Bug Description
There are some errors in the setup/definition of the Linux Libertine fonts in Karmic. Specifically:
(i) Linux Libertine O bold registers as a different font ('Linux Libertine').
(ii) Selecting 'bold' for Linux Libertine O in OpenOffice actually results in bold italic being displayed
(iii) In other applications, text that ought to be bold is left as regular (e.g. in a Lilypond document that uses Linux Libertine).
This suggests that the Linux Libertine O bold font is somehow improperly named/registered with the system and that applications trying to use it are approximating solutions as best they can.

To post a comment you must log in.
Further to the above: if you examine the .ttf files using Font Viewer, the font name for LinLibertine_Bd.ttf is given as 'Linux Libertine, Bold' whereas the others are named 'Linux Libertine O', whether it's 'Linux Libertine O, Regular', 'Linux Libertine O, Bold Italic' or whatever.
In the latest download of the fonts available from SourceForge all the fonts are simply named 'Linux Libertine' (no O) so presumably some changes have been made in the Ubuntu/Debian packaging process that were not completed properly.
