Keyboard font: "Tux" ligature not working
Describe the bug
From the sources, I expected the "Tux" ligature to produce a "Tux" key (instead of the "Windows" key).
This doesn’t work with the LibertinusKeyboard-Regular.otf (v7.0.20) font.
There are actually keyboards that have the tux instead of the Windows, so it’d be nice if this worked.
Steps to reproduce
Install LibertinusKeyboard-Regular.otf, open a new LibreOffice Writer document, set font to Libertinus Keyboard and type "Tux". Three keys T, u, x are generated, instead of one Tux key.
Expected vs. actual behavior See above.
Sure. Happy to accept a contribution of a new Tux glyph.
Just a heads up, I poked around and there is a GNU glyph ligature if that tickles your fancy. An Apple command key glyph might not be a terrible follow up addition to a Tux.
Unfortunately I have no idea how to do that, just remembered that "Linux Biolinum Keyboard" has a Tux, uses many of the same ligatures, and in general looks much like "Libertinus Keyboard", maybe it was originally forked from "Linux Biolinum Keyboard"? If the licenses allow, maybe the Tux could be copied from it?
I still prefer Libertinus Keyboard, since it has the ligatures for the German variants, like "Strg", "AltGr", "Bildup", "Bilddown", "Pos1" and so forth.
Thanks for taking the project over and caring about it so much!
Yes, this was forked from Linux Biolinum Keyboard — and yes the licenses are compatible. It shouldn't be too hard to port across if the glyph was there. I don't know why it would have gotten dropped along the line but I'll look into it.
Thanks for confirming—and great that the licenses are compatible! I much prefer the "Libertinus" font family for professional typesetting (usually with LaTeX).
I find that some of the "Linux Libertine" fonts have apparently been updated since whenever they’ve been forked, especially (also) the keyboard font. Let me address some proposed updates in a new issue (and probably close this one?).

GNU and Tux I have now :-) thanks guys - but DANTE - the Lion? A list for "Libertinus Keyboard" like "Strg" "Shift" and so on would be very helpful. If exist I don't found it. only a help for Lyx "another-way-to-represent-keys-in-lyx" and the way over "uniE104" Alt+C behind U+e104 work only for "Linux Biolinum Keyboard" under LibreOffice the font I Installed should have it (FontForge) but I think the problem sitting still in front of pc ... and that's me. [list I building now with help over FontForge]
