Package: fonts-linuxlibertine
Version: 5.3.0-4

When a document contains a lowercase italic "m" in the open type font Linux
Biolinum O, the following two things happen:
* on prinouts, the m does not appear
* if exported to PDF (or printed to PDF), broken PDF files are produced,
e.g. the whole pages containing an m are not visible in evince.

The bug does NOT appear
* using Linux Libertine O instead of Biolinum
* outside of libreoffice (tested in inkscape)
* using the True Type version of the Linux Biolinum fonts from
libertine-fonts.org
* using the Libertinus Sans font from github.com/alif-type/libertinus

I'm attaching a demo otf and pdf file (the latter exported to pdf from
Libreoffice Writer)

I run Debian GNU/Linux 10, kernel 4.19.0-5-amd64, libc6 2.28-10.
Best, Florian
