<pre wrap="">Hi there,
And firstable please excuse my english. I'm using Scribus because I
want to create a scientific poster (A0 size). I must include Latex
formulas, but after doing Insert Rendering Frame, and right-clicking
" Edit source ", I see that there is no possibility to set a Fontsize
greater than 20 pts, which is really a problem in my opinion.
If I made a mistake using Scribus, please accept my sincere
apologizes for make scribus users wasting their time reading my
email. But I have to say that I must create this poster very soon, so
I'm running out of time.

There are many options. E.g., you can use any of these (usually
installed by default):<br>
\usepackage{fourier}% uses Utopia font<br>
\usepackage{mathpazo}% uses Palatino font<br>
\usepackage{mathptmx}% uses Times font<br>
\usepackage{kpfonts}% uses KP Serif font<br>
<style type="text/css">p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }</style>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">\usepackage[charter]{mathdesign}%
uses Charter font etc.<br>
</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;"><br>
There are other fonts with math support. More infos here: <br>

As Stefan explained, \fontsize{x}{y}\selectfont commands (where "x"
is font size, e.g., 40pt, and "y" is baselineskip, e.g., 50pt) take
care of the size of the text. You'd probably want to use these
commands locally, i.e., in a group, inside curly brackets, as I did
in the example below.<br>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;"><br>
An example:</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;"><br>
1. Open Scribus and create a Render Frame > Right Click >
Edit Source<br>
2. Tick off "Use Preamble" (since we'll use our own)<br>
3. Type in this example code:<br>

P.S. Also, there is another option: if you're using xelatex (in
which case LaTeX command in File > Preferences > External
Tools > LaTeX should be changed to: xelatex --interaction
nonstopmode), you can load mathspec package and use any font
installed on your system. However, this might not work perfectly
in all cases (depending on quality of font used), so you should
take care. More infos in mathspec documentation: <br>
