Gregory,<br><br>Thank you for the reply. I just tried the \small command and that didn't help. It looks like a Latex issue rather than a scribus issue, since I got the same problem in a standard alone latex document.<br>
<br>Wei<br><br>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.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 6, 2011 at 8:43 PM, Gregory Pittman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gregp_ky@yahoo.com">gregp_ky@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Dear Scribus users,<br>
<br>
I need your help on latex frame rendering. When I insert a latex frame, add<br>
some text in it, and adjust the frame width, I suppose the latex text width<br>
be the same with frame width (since I saw a line<br>
"\setlength{\textwidth}{$<u></u>scribus_realwidth$ pt}" in 100_latex.xml file). But<br>
sometimes I just miss one or two characters at the end of a line. It looks<br>
to me the Latex text width is a little longer than the frame width. This<br>
issue happens to both version 1.4.0-rc1 on Opensuse 11.4 and 1.5svn on<br>
Ubuntu.<br>
<br>
I wonder why this happen and is there any way to work around this. Can I<br>
edit the xml file so the Latex textwidth is a few pts less than the<br>
$scribus_realwidth$ so I do not miss any characters? I have a poster<br>
deadline in 10 days and Scribus is the best tool for this work, except this<br>
issue.<br>

You might just try using the LaTeX command \small{} to slightly shrink the size of the text.<br>
