Hi, Many thanks for your kind words in the name of Linux Libertine/Biolinum and Graphite developers, too. There are some quite exciting developments from these area. Eg. improved and extended font family of Linux Libertine: new bold variant (the old one is renamed to semi-bold); Linux Libertine Display, a size variant for greater point sizes, see http://www.linuxlibertine.org/uploads/media/2011-05-PR-V5.0.0_02.pdf, also the upcoming Graphite 2 integration for better performance. I will convert the new Linux Libertine and Biolinum fonts to Graphite now with combining diacritics (a basic need of several languages and scientific/linguistic usage), and with some extra functions, too. There are also a lot of other tasks to improve LibreOffice DTP, and we have a big loss, Keith Stribley (see http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.com/2011/02/in-memoriam-keith-stribley.html). I hope, we will be able to continue his work to develop a professional layout engine for LibreOffice with excellent (and default) typographical facilities.
