In standard packages with the Texlive distribution on Debian 7 (Wheezy), I was able to produce slanted text with the Linux Libertine font by calling text as \textsl{slanted text here}
.
I have upgraded to Debian 8 (Jessie) and it seems the Libertine package does not support slanted text anymore. Everywhere I call \textsl{}
the output is merely italic. I have installed all the variants of Libertine on my operating system (as OTF) and I have access to Linux Libertine Display Slanted O through LibreOffice and other programs.
This is most regrettable, because I use slanted text a lot for keywords in large scientific documents.
Is there a way for me to configure LaTeX so that I have access to slanted Libertine, or a similar font that fits well within regular Libertine text?
MWE which produces only italic when compiled with pdflatex:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{libertine}
\begin{document}
Here is some \textit{italic} text,
and what should be \textsl{slanted} text.
\end{document}
libertine
but you can usesmall caps
... page 2 at mirror.ctan.org/fonts/libertine/doc/libertine.pdf.fd
files that come in the package, to no avail. Yet I have compiled documents daily for an entire year with slanted libertine text in them (the PDFs had a LinLibertineSlanted font embedded).libertine-legacy
). But so far, six hours into it, I cannot manage to install that package properly on my new operating system: I keep running into LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `OT1/fxl/m/n' undefined problems. Would you have any pointers?
