--- Comment #4 from Caleb Maclennan <caleb at alerque.com> ---
Like David above (who kindly contacted me to inform me about this issue) I am
also a long time LibreOffice user (also OpenOffice before it). It was through
this project that I first discovered and fell in love with Linux Libertine.
Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony. I am now the maintainer of the
Libertinus fonts project which is the only active and de-facto replacement fork
for Linux Libertine.

Having used the original font family extensively but run into many of its rough
edges I was quite excited when Khaled Hosny initiated the fork project and
started cleaning things up. While all the improvements he made were
incremental, they were significant and made for a much better experience
overall. I've since published many full books in it in several languages to
good effect. It's only recently that I've fallen into the maintainer role
myself, so I say this vouching for somebody else's work not just my baby.

I do realize this proposal is a non-trivial change, but if there is anything I
can do on the upstream end with the font project to facilitate such a
transition do let me know.
