Not sure.

True! Linux Libertine is both in TeXLive 2009 and in system at 
/usr/share/fonts...

Apparently it did.

OK:
xelatex prints many lines of using "TeXLive/2009bin/texmf-
dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine", but in log I find:

Requested font "Linux Libertine" at 10.0pt
 -> /opt/custom-builds/TeXLive/2009bin/texmf-

So a whole mix! Type1 mixed with TT/OT, which gets taken from two locations...
Will have to delete the TT version of Libertine then... Type1 too?
