to follow the current procedure.
Those defines in scp files are set as defines in the makefiles, except
for WITHOUT_FONTS that is set on configure.in. IMO this is inconsistent
and could be moved to a scp2 makefile

back to the Linux Libertine G and Linux Biolinum G fonts, I've found
issue 115003 https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=115003

I'm not sure if it is safe to integrate them. Sure Herbert can give
a hint.

It is quite safe to integrate them. The most that can happen is that 
caret positioning becomes a little inconvenient. The root cause is that 
WriterEngine and EditEngine use obsolete assumptions about where carets 
should be positioned even though they shouldn't assume anything, they 
should just take the information that is readily available. I hope I'll 
get around to work on this topic.
