This is how the same text looks in Libreoffice Writer, with the same font and with Liberation Sans

Is there anything Scribus can do?

Seems ok at high zoom levels although at full page level zoom there is a slight difference. Not has bad as the original screenshot but maybe that's advances in harfbuzz over time.
