As previously suggested the symbol font sounds like the best way to go about this. i think gcharmap (or gcharacter or something similar, why the bastards could not just call it charmap <sigh>) would help you do this.
Maybe in future Dia could have some way to invoke the Character Map or some sort of insert Symbol Dialog, I dunno, so many things to do, so little time. http://bugzilla.gnome.org please check to see if there is already a feature request anything like this in Dia and if not please file a bug Although not actually of any direct help you might be interested in http://lahelper.sourceforge.net/index.html or maybe something could be done with GtkMath Abiword is looking at similar maths/latex issues http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/02/May/0369.html http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2321 i am sure other gnome projects are too, maybe you could find something Dia could easily reuse? Or encourage developers to get their programs to integrate with Dia.
