Hello! We just released a new version of our open font Linux Libertine (linuxlibertine.sf.net).
The most obvious improvement is the hinting. Other changes as follow:
Changes to version 2.7.9 regular(|) & italic(/) & capitals (20071228)
- new Hinting! Now it is possible to use Libertine with Word on Windows properly. The shape on
screen should be clearer now on every system!
- new kern pairs for better typography
- some wrong contour directions corrected
- many small corrections
- OT "fina" has been removed from wordend-sigma
- countless small improvements
- kerning for Caps variant
- the conflict (that came up lately with a library update) between underlined and regular is
diminished
Thanks for posting and a Happy New Year to you all!
