Libertine G and Biolinum G fonts have been bundled with LO since LO 3.3:

<https://www.libreoffice.org/download/3-3-new-features-and-fixes/>

I extract the
"http://www.numbertext.org/linux/e7a384790b13c29113e22e596ade9687-LinLibertineG-20120116.zip";
file that the OP refers to <http://numbertext.org/linux/>, and find that
the fonts are .ttf. They are the same one's that are bundled with LO:

$ ls /home/gl/tempdir/testing/LinLibertineG
ChangeLog             LinBiolinum_R_G.ttf     LinLibertine_R_G.ttf

doc                   LinBiolinum_RI_G.ttf    LinLibertine_RI_G.ttf   README

LICENCE.txt           LinLibertine_RB_G.ttf   LinLibertine_RZI_G.ttf
LinBiolinum_RB_G.ttf  LinLibertine_RBI_G.ttf  OFL.txt

$ locate LinBiolinum_R_G.ttf
/opt/libreoffice3.5/share/fonts/truetype/LinBiolinum_R_G.ttf
/opt/libreoffice3.6/share/fonts/truetype/LinBiolinum_R_G.ttf

$ locate LinLibertine_R_G.ttf
/opt/libreoffice3.5/share/fonts/truetype/LinLibertine_R_G.ttf
/opt/libreoffice3.6/share/fonts/truetype/LinLibertine_R_G.ttf

Perhaps I'm missing the 'graphite' bits? When I follow the instructions
in <http://numbertext.org/linux/fontfeatures.odt> everything matches.
