  1. LOFP -- http://linuxlibertine.sf.net
  2. Please note: The underlined variant is recently not being maintained because
  3. its concept doesnt seem to be sofware-technically reliable and because of lack of interest.
  4. Changes to version 2.8.14 regular(|) & italic(/) & capitals (20080619)

  75. Yes, this is true. That was of course a bug.

  78. Wrong PS-Names affect just OpenType-capable programs. Normal office use is not affected.

  82. Changes to version 2.7.9 regular(|) & italic(/) & capitals (20071228)
  83. - 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!
  84. - new kern pairs for better typography
  85. - some wrong contour directions corrected
  86. - many small corrections
  87. - OT "fina" has been removed from wordend-sigma
  88. - countless small improvements
  89. - kerning for Caps variant
  90. - the conflict (that came up lately with a library update) between underlined and regular is diminished
  91. Changes to version 2.6.9 regular(|) & italic(/) & capitals (20070423)
  92. Gernerally:
  93. - Symbols for „page“, „graph“, „picture“ and „table“ added
  94. - Oldstyle numbers (minuscle numbers) were just contained as proportionals. Somebody wanted them also as table numbers. Ladder became standard oldstyles now. Some of these glyphs look somehow thinner to fit them on the fixed width.
  95. -bold italic variant had a wrong style entry which seemed to confuse Mac's fonthandling, also other style confusions should be fixed now
  96. -bold italic also had wrong metrics which resulted in a cutoff of glyph parts and wrong line spacing.
  97. German interests:
  98. -großes Eszett hinzugefügt (uni1E9E) entsprechend Kapitälchen-Eszett
  99. -kleines Eszett so verändert, dass es zum großen passt (ſz statt ſs), das vorige Eszett ist als germandbls.alt weiterenthalten
  100. -Im Stilsatz ss03 kann für Schweizer nun automatisch von Eszetts auf ss umgestellt werden.
  101. -die dt. ÄÖÜ sind nun von der Alternativposition an die rechte Stelle gerückt. Für die nichtdeutschsprachige Nutzung empfehlen sich jetzt die (vormals standart, jetzt aber auf die Alternativposition gewechselten Akzentuierten)
  102. Cyrillic:
  103. Due to A. Panovs help hopefully a lot of design impriovements for the cyrrilic alphabet.
  104. Mainly: Є Љ Њ Б З Ф Ш Щ Ъ Ы Ь Э Ю Ө (and its small letter derivates) For details:
  105. ("Ь" in regular typeface has extra contour at left bottom.)
  106. --corrected--
  107. Lower part of "Ь" and "Ъ" (and for lowercase letters "ь", "ы", "ъ",
  108. "ѣ") differ. I think the letter "Ь" (or "ь" for lowercase) should be
  109. used as base for others.
  110. ("Ф" is still slightly asymmetric with respect to vertical axis. It may produce artefacts with rendering.)
  111. --corrected--
  112. (Middle vertical stems in "Ш", "Щ" have not rounded lower edges.)
  113. --corrected--
  114. ("Ш", "ш" are not quite symmetric agains middle vertical axis (all
  115. typefaces). "Щ", "щ" must be updated accordingly.)
  116. --corrected--
  117. (The tongue in "Э" can have two stylistic variants: straight and
  118. tilde-like. )
  119. OK, then tilde-like.
  120. (The designer decides which version should be selected. Some other letters should follow this decision: U+0472, U+04E8, U+0404, etc.)
  121. --corrected--
  122. (The capital letters U+0472 and U+04E8 usually are identical, excepting the case of archaic (before ca. XVIII century) form of U+0472.)
  123. --corrected--
  124. (The U+0473 frequently is narrower than "o" and U+04E9. In case of a tilde-tongue in "Э" a tongue in U+0404 is not flipped, i.e. it has the same diriction as in "Э".)
  125. --corrected--
  126. Small Caps:
  127. - Some changes here for better spacing.
  128. - FO-overlap (due to wrong kerning entry) removed
  129. Bolded:
  130. - Complete revision of the bold version. Should result in a clearer shape and better thin-width-contrast
  131. OpenType:
  132. - Due to better support in the FontForge editor the OpenType-tables have been completely redefined.
  133. Changes to version 2.5.9 regular(|) & italic(/) & capitals (20070423)
  134. - countless improvements as usual
  135. - some unicode standard optimizations (NUL-glyph, .notdef, ...)

  141. - There was one wrong cyrrilic letter Lje (U+0409).
  142. And there were some correct objections to the handling of the downgoing serif in Dzhe/dzhe, De/de, Tse/tse, Shcha/shcha. These now have the same depth and similar form
  143. - Some small changes in cyrrilics most complex letter Zhe
  144. but also in Ef
  145. in the hardening and softening signs (should not look like a reversed P but like the bud of the B),

  147. be had a too right tail,
  148. breve.cyr didn't look cyrrillic enough,
  149. ef shouldn't be too calligraphic,
  150. dje/she have now x-hight-bars
  151. - due to a bug U+1fc7 (an accented eta) was missing
  152. - some eagled-eyed person had seen that the U+721 was not at its place
  153. - perthousandzero added at U+E00E for full LaTex-support
  154. - some accented smallcaps added to basic font table for LaTex-support (This doesn't affect the Caps-version of Libertine, which already had all these glyphs)
  155. - removed a cyrrilic opentype entry that substituted N-o with the numberligature because a stupid GNOME environment read out this table entry on a Spanish system and messed up typography...

  157. - many countless improvements
  158. - some letters are slimer now: a, k, c, r

  163. - the whole range from U+180 -> U+01BF has been reworked
  164. -small improvements in the IPA-Extensions
  165. -for better acception of the old greek we changed the inverted breve to a tilde which is more widely used..., accents also have received some improvements
  166. -The cyrillic alphabeth has had again great changes due to unsatisfied users. We now have more equal cyrillic serifs, some letters are thinner some wider, spacing has been renewed
  167. -p,i have now horizontal serifs in the cyrillic
  168. -the bold regular is greatly improved. It's now fatter, looks more elegant

  178. -numbers
  179. -accents brought to one hight (some dotted chars weren't)
  180. -Same hight for capitals (already one point difference can the letter look higher on screen. For print this doesn't play any role...

  257. -----------Fertig-nach Tobias Vorschlägen----------------------------
  258. 02C4 (MODIFIER LETTER UP ARRORHEAD), * raised articulation (-> 005E ^
  259. circumflex accent, 2303 ^ up arrowhead). Siehe
  260. http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U02B0.pdf
  261. Wenn ich in die PDF-Datei schaue, sehen 02C2 (<), 02C3 (>), 02C4 (^) und
  262. 02C4 (v) größer aus als 02C4 (^) und 02C5 (v). Vielleicht sollte man für
  263. 02C2 bis 02C3 einfach ein gedrehtes '<' benutzen?
  264. - Zeichenbreite im Block "SPACE MODIFIER LETTERS (02B0–02FF)"
  265. (http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U02B0.pdf) ist zum Teil verkehrt.
  266. Diese Zeichen sollen alle eine endliche Breite haben (im Gegensatz zu
  267. den COMBINING DIACRITICAL MARKS (0300-036F), die auf/unter einem Zeichen
  268. sitzen sollen). Insbesondere:
  269. - zu Breit: hochgestellte h, w und y
  270. - viel zu schmall: T, _|_ und + (etc.)
  271. - Zeichenbreite/Position im Block "COMBINING DIACRITICAL MARKS (0300-036F)
  272. http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0300.pdf
  273. Bei den meisten Zeichen stimmt die Breite/Position, bis auf:
  274. - 0306 COMBINING BREVE -> zu weit rechts
  275. - 030B COMBING DOUBLE ACUTE ACCENT -> zu weit rechts.
  276. - 0327 COMBINING CEDILLA -> viel, viel zu weit rechts!
  277. - 0338 COMBINING LONG SOLIDUS OVERLY
  278. -> Ich würde den Strich entweder etwas nach unten verlängern oder nach
  279. etwas nach unten schieben; oder etwas nach links schieben? Jedenfalls
  280. sieht "o" + U0338 (= ca. ø) komisch aus.
  281. - Vielleicht ein klein bißchen zu weit rechts: 0323, 0330, 0331, 0342,
  282. - 0384 GREEK TONOS -> Das Zeichen sollte normal breit sein und kein
  283. "combining" Akzent.
  284. - 03F1 GREEK LUNATE SIGMA SYMBOL = GREEK SMALL LETTER LUNATE SIGMA ->
  285. Das Zeichen sollte anders als Sigma aussehen und zwar ohne den Bogen
  286. unten (ca, wie "c", oft spitz zulaufend).
  287. - 03F4 GREEK CAPITAL THETA SYMBOL -> anders als Theta, durchgehender
  288. Strich in der Mitte
  289. - 03F5 GREEK LUNATE EPSILON SYMBOL = straight epsilon -> Wie der Name
  290. schon sagt ein nicht geschwungenes Epsilon. In der Physik benutzt man
  291. oftmals beide Epsilons das gerade und das geschwungene.
  292. (03F6 GREEK REVERSED LUNATE EPSILON = reversed straight epsilon -> bitte
  293. das gedrehte 03F5 hinzufügen)
  294. - 03F9 GREEK CAPITAL LUNATE SIGMA SYMBOL -> sollte anders als Sigma
  295. aussehen, klassischerweise wie "C" (oft ohne Serifen und spitz zulaufend)
  296. NUMBER FORMS
  297. - 215F "1/ " -> Man sollte wohl die Breite so ändern, daß "1/" +
  298. tiefgestellte Zahl (2080 bis 2089) gut aussehen.
  299. > Durch Kerning gelöst
  300. Fehlten:
  301. - Griechisch-Block: 03DA-03E1 fehlen (Archaische Buchstaben)
  302. http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0370.pdf
  303. (Wieso die in MES-2 sind, weiß ich allerdings nicht)
  304. * 03DA GREEK LETTER STIGMA
  305. * 03DB GREEK SMALL LETTER STIGMA
  306. * 03DC GREEK LETTER DIGAMMA
  307. * 03DD GREEK SMALL LETTER DIGAMMA
  308. * 03DE GREEK LETTER KOPPA
  309. * 03DF GREEK SMALL LETTER KOPPA
  310. * 03E0 GREEK LETTER SAMPI
  311. * 03E1 GREEK SMALL LETTER SAMPI
  312. MATHEMATICAL OPERATORS, http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2200.pdf
  313. - 2208 ELEMENT OF, 2209 NOT AN ELEMENT OF und 220A SMALL ELEMENT OF
  314. -> das (Nicht-)Element-von-Symbol finde ich zu groß, es sollte nicht so
  315. groß wie Versalien/Großbuchstaben sein, sondern so groß oder etwas
  316. kleiner als Gemeine/Kleinbuchstaben. Das kleine Element-von-Symbol finde
  317. ich zu klein.
  318. Changes to version 2.1.1 regular(|) & italic(/) & capitals (20060729)

  350. Changes to version 2.0.9 regular(|) & italic(/) & capitals (20060401)
  351. - small changes, used new converter (fontforge-20060408) -> may result in slightly better contours (who knows...)
  352. - first underlined variant

  354. Changes to version 2.0.8 regular(|) & italic(/) & capitals (20060401)
  355. - completely new bold version!
  356. - first bold-italic variant!
  357. => the family has therefore now finally all faces it classically needs, juhu! ;-)
  358. -further small corrections in all faces
  359. - I created TrueTypeInstructed variants of LinuxLibertine named "LinuxLibertine T" they can be therefore installed paralelly to the unhinted variants.
  360. Note 1: I recommend all users of OpenOffice 2.0.x on Linux to use the unhinted variants. On my linux-systems the unhinted variant is automaticly hinted and better looking than the hinted! On Windows-Systems -- nevertheless -- the unhinted variant is ugly on screen. Here you should take the instructed/hinted variant.
  361. Note 2: Hints (in the meaning of TrueTypeInstructions) do not have any effect on printing.

  434. | uni022D (o mit Tilde und Macron): dito
  435. | uni0210 (R mit ") die " sind zuweit links

  442. | 0323 combining dot below: vielleicht noch ein bißchen nach links?
  443. Anmerkung: Wenn man jetzt noch die Diacritical Marks verschiebt, dann verändern sie sich in allen anderen Akzentuierten Zeichen mit, wo sie durch Referenzen eingebunden sind. Daher habe ich die Verschiebungen ersteinmal nicht vorgenommen.
  444. |Beim kleinen psi [03C8] kann ich mich nicht recht an den schrägen Mittelstrich
  445. gewöhnen.)
  446. | 1E48: Das _ beim N sollte wohl etwas länger sein oder etwas nach links
  447. verschoben werden
  448. | Bei Greek Extended (1F00 bis 1FFF) ist bei 'E und 'H (allein und mit
  449. verschiedenen weiteren Akzenten) das ' vor der position 0, und
  450. überschreibt somit das vorherige Zeichen. Das ist wohl nicht Absicht,
  451. oder? Analog bei `I (1FDA).
  452. | uni2102: Das C (für die Menge komplexe Zahlen) sollte einen
  453. Doppelstrich haben, wie deine H,Q,Z,R
  454. | 213D bis 2149: das gilt auch für die Zeichen hier (gamma, Gamma, Pi,
  455. Sigma, D, d, e und j)
  456. | 2153 bis 215A: Die Brüche 1/3, 2/3, 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5, 1/6, 5/6
  457. fehlen; besonders 1/3 und 2/3 wären schön
  458. | 2217 und 2218 sollten witer unten stehen (genaus so hoch wie das Minus
  459. und der Punkt 2219) da das Multiplikationsoperatoren sind.
  460. | 226A und 226B: Das sind vielgrößer/vielkleiner Zeichen. Ich hätte sie
  461. aber so nicht erkannt. Nimm einfach << und >> und schiebe sie ein wenig
  462. ineinander.

  1400. - Added some arrows you need for chemistry-terms (->, <-, <-->, v, �
  1401. Changes to version 0.2.8 (20031005)
  1402. - did a little work in kerning of pairs like Vx, Wx, fx, ff
  1403. - E,F,k: vertical stem is now 2 points thinner
  1404. - n overworked. Major changes: left vertikal stem has now lost sharpness;
  1405. bow from n is now just a connect to the left HStem an no part anymore;
  1406. new character balance on the right
  1407. - same like above with h, m, r
  1408. - r got mor extrem in bow and ear
  1409. - b, d, p similar procedure like above with m, n, r
  1410. - i, j, l, k, b, d, h the overlength is now slightly unsharpened
  1411. - G is now mor round und more proud
  1412. Changes to version 0.2.7 (20031002)
  1413. - g got a slightly smaller ear
  1414. - fi-ligature has better right bearing (the one of "i" of course)
  1415. - n has now less right bearing (20 -> 5)
  1416. - m has now more right bearing (-8 -> 5)
  1417. - h has now less right bearing (12 -> 5)
  1418. - c got a bigger left bearing (54 -> 60)
  1419. - b's stem seam to be to thick. I shrinked its width from 42 -> 37
  1420. - r: increased right bearing (25 -> 35)
  1421. - V got a bigger left vertical
  1422. - N got a thinner vertical
  1423. - 1 (one) is littler thinner now and again
  1424. - . (dot) has now greater right bearing (55 -> 65)
  1425. - , (comma) has now greater right bearing (55 -> 65)
  1426. - t got bigger right bearing (45 -> 50)
  1427. - z: for aesthetical reasons the above horizontal stem seems to must be thinner than the one at the
  1428. base line, so 9points off
  1429. Changes to version 0.2.6 (20030930)
  1430. - I overworked all serifs! The results are not visible in printing small sizes in TrueType
  1431. but since AutoHinting recognizes the serifs now we should have better printing results at
  1432. good postscript printers in PostScript-Fonts.
  1433. - Kerning table has been greately expanded even for pairs like ke, ka... Very sad that nearly all
  1434. Linux-TrueType programs don't care about the kerning table at all! This must change in future!
  1435. - g has been overworked and seems to become pretty at least. Especially the ear had a good change.
  1436. - C had major changes and satisfies me now.
  1437. - all numbers had some changes and got for the first all the same bearings left and right
  1438. - fi-ligature had complete redo, looks better but doesn't satisfies me, yet
  1439. - r got a little thicker nipple at the right end of its arm that leads to better printing an
  1440. recognition results at small points
  1441. - t has a slighly thinner round in its neck now
