[scribus] latex text width larger than frame width

[Wei Liu]

Dear Scribus users,

I need your help on latex frame rendering. When I insert a latex frame, add
some text in it, and adjust the frame width, I suppose the latex text width
be the same with frame width (since I saw a line
"\setlength{\textwidth}{$scribus_realwidth$ pt}" in 100_latex.xml file). But
sometimes I just miss one or two characters at the end of a line. It looks
to me the Latex text width is a little longer than the frame width. This
issue happens to both version 1.4.0-rc1 on Opensuse 11.4 and 1.5svn on
Ubuntu.

I wonder why this happen and is there any way to work around this. Can I
edit the xml file so the Latex textwidth is a few pts less than the
$scribus_realwidth$ so I do not miss any characters? I have a poster
deadline in 10 days and Scribus is the best tool for this work, except this
issue.

Thank you so much,
Wei Liu
