Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Linux libertine italic beautiful amph

[max_mad666]

Hello,

Right now I'm using the following code

Code: Select all

\usepackage[libertine={Ligatures=TeX}]{libertineotf}

I'm quite happy but what is strange is that usually if you use a "good" serif font you get:

A normal amph "&" in general
An alternative amph quite styllictic in italic

But now I just get a normal tilted amph in italic "&"

How may i get a stylistic amph in italic ?

Thank you

I'm not sure that's true. With a good font you get in both cases a suiting ampersand. In my eyes this is the case with the libertine font. But then, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, so...

Anyway. `libertine-otf' provides \libertineGlyph{} and the manual contains a comprehensive list of available glyphs.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[libertine={Ligatures=TeX}]{libertineotf}

\begin{document}

Mumford \&\ Sons

\itshape
Mumford \&\ Sons

Mumford \libertineGlyph{ampersand.alt} Sons

\end{document}

define your own fontface:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[libertine={Ligatures=TeX}]{libertineotf}
\newfontface\myit[Style=Alternate]{Linux Libertine O Italic}
\begin{document}

Mumford \&\ Sons

\myit
Mumford \&\ Sons

\end{document}
