Make sure you use "LinLibertine_Re-4.7.3.otf", cause the Wikipedia "W" is not included in any other file!
For the logo you should just be able to use the "W" from the blueprint. But whenever you need to type the Wikipedia "W" you will need to insert it as a special character.
You can insert it by typing its Unicode: U+e02f
or
Illustrator
Illustrator supports a very convenient method to insert special characters: The Glyphs. You can find Glyphs at the "Top Navigation": "Type": "Glyphs.
These steps may help to get it:
- Type a capital "W" (you will get the original Libertine W)
- Select it (with the text-tool)
- Open the glyphs
- Use the dropdown menu to chose "Alternative characters"
- Some alternative "W"s will appear: Choose the Wikipedia "W" (with crossed strokes)
Inkscape
Unfortunatly Inkscape does not support such a convenient method, so you have to copy&paste it from another software. We think KCharSelect is a nice (Open Source) Software for this purpose. KCharSelect offers a very convenient method to find and insert special characters.
