[XeTeX] Linux Libertine font problem

[David Perry]

It doesn't matter what the actual font files are named, as long as the 
internal tables use the same name.  In other words, you could have four 
files called dogs.ttf, cats.ttf, goldfish.ttf, and hamsters.ttf; but if 
the fontmaker gave them all the name "Animals" in the fonts' name tables 
and set the appropriate bits to indicate normal, bold, italic, and bold 
italic, fontspec will find them.  That's why fontspec requires you to 
use the display name, which is the name used internally by the font, 
rather than the actual font filename.  Now, if you have something other 
than the usual four suspects, then you have to specifically tell 
fontspec (e.g., if you have an old font with small capitals in a 
separate font, or you want to use a nonstandard family such as "Animals 
Demi" as the boldface version for "Animals Light."
