[scribus] latex text width larger than frame width

[Wei Liu]

Gregory,

Thank you for the reply. I just tried the \small command and that didn't

the same problem in a standard alone latex document.

p.s. I'm using scribus for making a poster and really need large font size.
So I use \scalefont{} which is incompatible with \small.
