Differences between XeLaTeX Font and PDFLaTeX Font

Post by zhou13 »

I found that the output result is slightly different between next two commands.
  1. Code: Select all

    \defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
    \setromanfont{Linux Libertine}
    \setmainfont{Linux Libertine}
    \setsansfont{Linux Biolinum}
  2. Code: Select all

    \usepackage{libertine}
On SumatraPDF, I hardly can see any difference. But on Adobe PDF, the difference is distinct. The second one is better for me. Anyone knows the reason?
