I set that up and except for one strange problem, which I resolved, worked seemingly all fine. The strange problem was this: with the old version of Linux Libertine (4.4.1) word "Pērse" was output well, but with the new 4.7.5 one it was output so that 'ē' gets printed right onto 'P' without counting P's width... Here is why for me the old versions of fonts will now matter and I set up a git VCS repository on that folder... Otherwise than that... Given I only intend using XeTeX, what could be missing in the above mentioned setup? I mean, something important, that might show up just later... > You will perhaps have to copy some open type fonts from the texmf > tree to your system font folder.

Anyone has some particular math font(s) to advice for copying? (math output works for me without that too..) find -regextype posix-extended -regex ".*(m|M)ath.*\.otf$" ./opentype/public/xits/xits-math.otf ./opentype/public/Asana-Math/Asana-Math.otf Maybe those?
