Italic in section headings with Linux Biolinum

If I ask on my system

otfinfo -i /usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/libertine/LinBiolinum_RBO.otf

the answer is

Family:              Linux Biolinum O 
Subfamily:           Bold
Full name:           Linux Biolinum O Bold Oblique
PostScript name:     LinBiolinumOBO
Version:             Version 1.3.2 
Unique ID:           FontForge 2.0 : Linux Biolinum O Bold Oblique : 30-10-2012

which means that the font doesn't correctly advertise its subfamily, which should be Bold Italic.

Solution:

\documentclass[a4paper]{scrartcl}

\usepackage{fontspec}

\setmainfont{Linux Libertine O}
\setsansfont{Linux Biolinum O}[
  BoldItalicFont=* Bold Oblique
]

\begin{document}
\section{Test \emph{emphasized} Text}
abcd ldbflsdbgf

\textbf{\textit{\textsf{Italic}}}

\section{Test \textit{italic} Text}
\end{document}

For manually specifying the fonts:

\documentclass[a4paper]{scrartcl}

\usepackage{fontspec}

\setmainfont{Linux Libertine O}
\setsansfont{LinBiolinum}[
  Extension=.otf,
  UprightFont=*_R,
  ItalicFont=*_RI,
  BoldFont=*_RB,
  BoldItalicFont=*_RBO,
]

\begin{document}
\section{Test \emph{emphasized} Text}
abcd ldbflsdbgf

\textbf{\textit{\textsf{Italic}}}

\section{Test \textit{italic} Text}
\end{document}

This depends on the fonts available. I also seem to lack Biolinum in a bold oblique shape as a system font, as it is not included in the SourceForge distribution. You could substitute something similar, as below (I grabbing Tex Gyre Heros, but perhaps something better is available):

    \setmainfont[]{Linux Libertine O} %\setmainfont, rather than \setromanfont

    \setsansfont[
    ItalicFont = LinBiolinumOI,
    BoldFont = LinBiolinumOB,
    BoldItalicFont = TeXGyreHeros-BoldItalic,
    BoldItalicFeatures = {Scale =0.85},
    ]{Linux Biolinum O}

Looks like egreg (as usual) has a better solution!
