[XeTeX] Linux Libertine 5 serif too heavy

[David J. Perry]

Ross,

It looks like you may have multiple versions of Libertine.  The list of 
fonts at the left of your screen shot shows Linux Libertine O, which is the 
opentype version (fonts endings in .otf), while the main portion shows .ttf 
fonts, which are named Linux Libertine (no 'O').  I had the same problem a 
while back, accidentally having installed both versions.  Go with one or the 
other and see if that helps.  Maybe Sebastian has the same issues.

Best wishes,
David
