Background:
Since 2003 the Libertine Open Fonts Project works on a versatile Unicode
font family with an elegant, good-readable type face for daily and
professional use. It is designed to give you an alternative for fonts
like T*mes New Roman. We’re creating /free/ software and publish our
fonts under terms of the GPL and Open Font License (OFL).
It is our aim to support the many western languages and provide a wide
range of special characters. Our fonts cover the codepages of Western
Latin, Greek, Cyrillic (with their specific enhancements), Hebrew, IPA
and many more. Furthermore, typographical features such as ligatures,
small capitals, different number styles, scientific symbols, etc. are
implemented in our fonts. Linux Libertine thus contains more than 2000
characters.
