Libertine G, has many expert effects, and LO can access them all.

Using the advanced features requires adding extensions to the font
name, such as "Linux Libertine G:onum=1" to use old style numbers.
Various extensions are separated by the ampersand (&). It can be a
little cumbersome at first, but there is an excellent guide at:

The Typography Toolbar extension makes its use easier.
