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.
