It is designed to give you an alternative for fonts like T*mes New Roman. We\u2019re creating <em>free<\/em> software and publish our fonts under terms of the GPL and OFL. Please have a look at the paragraph concerning the license.<\/p>\n<p>It is our aim to support the many western languages and provide many special characters. Our fonts cover the codepages of Western Latin, Greek, Cyrillic (with their specific enhancements), Hebrew, IPA and many more. Furthermore, typographical features such as ligatures, small capitals, different number styles, scientific symbols, etc. are implemented in this font. Linux Libertine thus contains more than 2000 characters. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what it looks like with Pinyin.
