Mintty is not an X windows program. To make fonts available for mintty, 
you have to install them with Windows, not X11 (I'll add a note to the 
Tips wiki page).
Even if you do that, Linux Libertine Mono is not listed in the mintty 
font menu. The reason for that is probably that the font file is missing 
an explicit flag to identify it as a monospace font. I suggest to file a 
bug with Linux Libertine about that.
You can still use it, though, with this invocation:
     mintty -o Font="Linux Libertine Mono"
