I'll add that OpenSuse 42.3 and Ubuntu 17.04 also ship a Freetype package 
affected by this
issue. In both cases it is Freetype 2.6.3.

According to DistroWatch, OpenSuse Tumbleweed already ships FreeType 2.8.0 
which is not
affected by this issue. Ubuntu 17.10 will have a FreeType upgrade as well and 
will also
come with FreeType 2.8.0 (or maybe 2.8.1, who knows?). Once Ubuntu 17.10 is 
released and
after performing distro upgrade, in any case it will be necessary to regenerate 
Scribus
font cache to get rid of this issue with DejaVu.
