John,

It's not that important, but I'm not talking about screen 
pdf. My bottom line concern is how my book/output looks when 
printed and that's how I test. The Scribus page printed 
looks exactly like test pages that I print that look a bit 
jaggy and when I send the test pdfs to my local printer he 
tells me that Adobe Illustrator tells him that my font was 
not embedded and the text was converted to outlines.

Again, perhaps it something particular to how my system 
interprets pdfs and how it converts sla to pdf.

In my Acrobat Reader 9.4.1 the text looks just a little bit 
softer than most of the others.

As for justification, on both the larger width and the short 
line, I see that Scribus comes in just a bit behind the Tex.
