[XeTeX] strande behavior of Linux Libertine fonts with optio Fractions=On

[Tobias Schoel]

Why is it even necessary or wanted to typeset vulgar fractions of 
arbitrary length? Just using "1234/5678" seems to be adequate. That's 
the usual form in maths when the font size is so small, that 
\frac{1234}{5678} would be even smaller or disturbing if in the same size.
