    just what I can tell you:

    - Where can I even see what harfbuzz version is operational in my

    I opened the dll in a hex editor on Windows.

    - Does Scribus Windows-version even use harfbuzz? Or Linux only?

    It's used in the Windows version.

    And back to our specific problem:

    Yes, the Scribus 1.5.7 installer installs harfbuzz 2.8.0, the 1.5.8
    installer will install harfbuzz 3.2.0.

    The switch from harfbuzz 2 to 3 seems to introduce the different text flow.

    Best regards,
