Until now I did not switch to LuaTeX and prefer pdfTeX, because it's faster. Since some years I've been using the old libertine-legacy package, e.g. because I need the command \libertingeGlyph
and \biolinumGlyph
, which print a certain glyph.
On the long run I'll have to dismiss libertine-legacy and replace it either with libertine or the fork libertinus.
Can somebody point out differences between these two packages with regard to pdfTeX, which I'm using?
And how I can use e.g. roman numbering without the \libertineGlyph
command, which used to provide the roman numbering glyphs from libertine in an example like this:
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{libertine}
\begin{document}
I'd like to use a Roman Number, but how to do without \libertineGlyph{Oneroman}
\end{document}
Or how can I define the two mentioned commands, either with libertine or libertinus-package?
libertine-legacy
defines many additional font families to get around the 256(?) character limit per family. So you can access these special characters by being internally re-routed to another font family. The newlibertine
package does not do these shenanigans and so you can only access the 256 characters per family.libertinus-type1
package on CTAN. Herbert Voss has written a wrapper packagelibertinus
