New issue 4571 by address@hidden: Characters that are not contained in  
the Libertine font are shown in a sans-serif font
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4571

Libertine font is a serif font. It is not a sans-serif font.
However, on some environment, if you specify Libertine font like the  
following files;

input/regression/typography-demo.ly
input/regression/utf-8.ly
etc.,

Japanese characters are shown in a sans-serif font instead of a serif font.

The cause is that fontconfig does not know that Libertine is a serif font.
In this case, fontconfig presumes that Libertine font is a sans-serif font.
Therefore, characters that are not contained in the Libertine font (like  
Japanese) are substituted to a sans-serif font.

Fedora 22's linux-libertine-fonts package contains fontconfig conf file  
that specifies that Libertine is a serif font.
In other words, this issue may not occur in Fedora etc.

On the other hand, Ubuntu's fonts-libertine package does not contain  
fontconfig conf file that specifies that Libertine is a serif font.
In other words, this issue may occur in Ubuntu etc.
