Hi Jeremy, I wasn't suggesting to actually use LaTeX as part of veusz, more to export files that LaTeX would process. inkscape can export a LaTeX file that is processed by LaTeX containing all the text in the right position and also includes a pdf (saved at the same time without the text) also put in the right place.
The drawback is that the text in the GUI is LaTeX stuff which often uses a lot more space than the final rendered text, making positioning an iterative process. This also means that the GUI never shows the final product, but that is very much in line with the LaTeX philosophy anyway! ;-) It was an idea. So far I have not been limited by the capability of veusz when it comes to LaTeX rendering.
