I had the same problem. See my post:
http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/pipermail/scribus/2003-July/001618.html

There is one solution I found out:
Insert the whole text inside the textbox. Later you use "SelectText" first
and then modify the style for the selected text. Therefore you need to
know the exact cursor position.
For complex changes you should call "SetRedraw(0)" but don't forget to call
"SetRedraw(1)" after that...
