Good morning!
This report by Github user SverreStausland has been lingering on the Luaotfload tracker for a while: There appears to be a difference between how certain faces of the Libertine family handle the placement of diacritics.
With Version 5.1.2 of the family [0], the "RZI" version (fullname: “Linux Libertine O Semibold Italic”) shows a different behavior than its “RZ” companion (“Linux Libertine O Semibold”). Short demonstration in Context:
\definefontfeature [ourfeats] [default] [mode=node]
\starttext \start \definedfont [file:LinLibertine_RI.otf*ourfeats] V\char"0306 \stop \start \definedfont [file:LinLibertine_RZI.otf*ourfeats] V\char"0306 \stop \stoptext
Note the misaligned combining breve above the latter. An equivalent test for Plain [1] shows that the correct position information is there somewhere in the font, since the Xetex engine typesets it correctly.
it's a bug in the font:
uni0306 in the second one has class "base" while in the first one it has class "mark" and context checks on that
\enabletrackers[otf.bugs]
Thanks for the reply and for the pointer. That tracker is indeed pretty handy! I attempted to open a bug report on the Libertine tracker but Sourceforge refuses to cooperate :/ Maybe next time. Best regards, Philipp
