Actually, the situation is even worse than that. The Linux Libertine
font supposed to be bundled in LibreOffice is *not* the one available in
the repositories. Indeed, LO is shipped with the Graphite version
(dubbed Linux Libertine G), while in the repos you can find the Open
Type version (Linux Libertine O). While the first one handles perfectly
ligatures in LO, this is not the case of the second one (it should, but
LO doesn't fully support Open Type). There are a few other things that
differ. So, even, if one install the Linux Libertine package in Ubuntu,
he won't be able to see a document written with Linux Libertine under MS
Windows correctly.
