#167 U+0125 is very unsightly in most styles

[dohnp5a1]

Libertine is a very nice font, nevertheless I cannot use it for Esperanto in peace, because the char "ĥ" (U+0125 LATIN SMALL LETTER H
WITH CIRCUMFLEX) has been corrected just in Libertine Regular and Libertine bold, but is still ugly in most styles (all of Biolinum, Italic etc. of Libertine). Could you adjust the char in all the styles to the nice typu used in Libertine Regular?

Actually, it is ugly in most typefaces, with the exception of several expensive professional fonts, mostly by Adobe (Minion, Warnock, Myriad, Fertigo).

There are three possible positions of the circumflex: see "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-circumflex".

The first one on
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:H-circumflex.png"
ist most often used but ugly (now present in Libertine except of Regular and Bold), the second one is the nicest, although the last one also isn't bad.

Would it please be possible to redraw the character in all the styles of Libertine and Biolinum to the nice forms, used in Libertine Regular?

There’s no consensus upon which one is more ugly. You’ll find advocates of all three of them, though mostly the first two only. If you change the glyph, people will complain again. The only ting to do IMO is to add alternate variants and make them choosable via opentype feature.

The Libertine Regular style has been improved, so the other ones could be adjusted to be coherent.
