Angel,
I used a lot of impositioning in the past.
If you want to have small white space at the outer edge, then do not use
width=fit. Control the inner whitespace with backspace=… Then calculate the
width of the textarea you want and set this value in width=... There is no need
to use cutspace in your approach.
