That said, I can imagine Scribus having issues with variable fonts. OpenType support is still pretty fresh in Scribus. Also, Variable Fonts are a failrly recent addition to OpenType, and the world at large is still coming to grips with them... There are still debates raging about how to support Variable Fonts all across the Internet. So, no authoritative answer, but a datapoint. If it's just the font you like, it's a German font design called DIN 1451, that was revived by Microsoft as Bahnschrift. There are many free and commercial fonts that are also derived from DIN 1451. Depending on the use you intend to make of it, you may be able to use one of the many alternatives, for example http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/osp-din . I love DIN 1451.
