> build Khaled's Libertinus with Graphite support
It's not quite as simple as enabling a flag and rebuilding the font. You have
to have have all the Graphite tables and extra work that was done on the font
source. Khaled's Libertinus font family has progressed significantly, expanded
character sets and weights, and generally gotten a lot of cleanup since the
Linux Libertine days. You can't just patch in the Graphite tables without doing
quite a bit of work to apply them to the current state of the font family. Not
an impossible amount of work, but quite a bit none the less.
I say this as the current maintainer of the Libertinus fonts; Khaled passed on
the role to me earlier this year. I'd be happy to see it support all the
Graphite from Linux Libertine G if somebody was willing to help with that work,
but I'm also struggling to see the benefit since the same function can not be
gotten with‌ OpenType. If there was layout that could not be accomplished with
OpenType and could with Graphite I'd be even more willing to put some time into
it myself, but at this point I'm not sure who that would actually be serving.
