Hey everyone,

I just wanted to highlight an issue I came across:
I added Linux Libertine (.afm file) to the lout/font directory, added
a mapping to an .ld file (I use my own one, because the default gets
overwritten on updates), and a corresponding .LCM to lout/maps.

Now, when I try to use the italic face, what loads instead is the
"initials" face. I assume this is because the FontName property of
both fonts is equal, that being "LinLibertineI". I think the correct
approach would be to identify a font based on the FullName property.

Even if I remove the "initials" variant from lout/font, ghostscript
(or something?) still loads it. I have to delete the file from my
system's font directory to get proper italic fonts.

I don't suppose this is fixable in another way?

Thanks,
Matej
