Hi,

according to user feedback on #8996, this makes Vietnamese input
(added in 1.3) usable in LibreOffice.

As a side-effect, it should also make it way easier to work on e.g.
office documents that were created on Windows, as the shipped fonts
are meant to be compatible replacements for Times New Roman (and in
part Helvetica/Arial). IIRC, either fontconfig or LibreOffice
transparently uses the Libertine fonts to replace Times New Roman in
such documents.

Note that this makes the ISO grow by about 8MB (with gzip SquashFS
compression), but I think it's worth it for improved inter-operability
and better Vietnamese (and possibly other IBus-needing ones)
language support.

Cheers,
