The Linux Libertine project's fonts are fabulous; been using them a while and pleased to see them on Arch.

One thing I've noticed missing is the "small caps" variant. If your application is using OpenType then you can get to it via the smpc & c2sc tables. However, for applications built on a stack as yet unported to OpenType and stuck with TrueType, the Libertine people have made a Small Caps variant available... somehow.

On a previous install of a different distro, equivalent ttf-linux-libertine package install resulted somehow in there being a "Linux Libertine O C" variant I could match against and get small caps. On Arch we have "Linux Libertine O" present, but not "... O C".

Assuming I'm not doing something wrong, is this something we can add?

Not that I know, but if you tell me how to get/enable the small caps version it'll be my pleasure to do so...
