Bug ID: 415928
Summary: fonts-linuxlibertine incorrectly names fonts
Product: neon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Packages User Edition
Assignee: neon-b...@kde.org

package in synaptic
SUMMARY
The package fonts-linuxlibertine incorrectly names libertine font family by
appending "O" to each name. This makes it impossible to send a book out for
editing to any other platform because the font they get from here:
http://libertine-fonts.org/download/
has the correct names. At one time Libertine was the default font for LO so
there are millions of pages of documents written using it.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Default install of KDE Neon with LibreOffice
2. install fonts-linuxlibertine from repo
3. Open LibreOffice Writer
4. Select Linux Libertine font
5. Paste in raw text from Lorem Ipsum Generator:
https://loremipsum.io/generator/?n=5&t=p
6. Save document
7. Copy/export document to Windows 10 VM
8. Install LO on Windows 10
9. Install Linux Libertine font
10. Open Document
OBSERVED RESULT
Libre Office cannot find the font on Windows 10. It will display "Linux
Libertine O" in italics because the font cannot be found. It won't even guess
Linux Libertine is closely compatible to "Linux Libertine O." Instead you will
get something that looks like Courier much of the time.
EXPECTED RESULT
Linux Libertine font should be universal. It all comes from libertine-fonts.org
and nobody should be changing the names.
