Linux Libertine (otf version) is included in TeX live. Indeed TeX live includes a extensive catalog of otf and ttf fonts to be used in LuaTeX or XeTeX: https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/opentypefonts.html As for the original topic of this thread, I am not aware of Japanese nor of its typographic norms, but it may be interesting to take a look at the luatexja package: https://ctan.org/pkg/luatexja?lang=en As for LuaTeX, I think this engine has been a great revolution within the TeX ecosystem, to the point that it is setting the standard of everything that is coming new and what is to come. I guess that LuaTeX will be the natural replacement for pdfTeX (in fact, LuaTeX evolved from pdfTeX and also took elements from another lesser known, experimental TeX engine, Omega, which was the first attempt, quite avant-garde, to create a TeX engine totally Unicode based: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_(TeX).
