Are you sure you want it as JPG? JPG is good for photos, but leaves rather ugly artifacts when used for vector graphics and fonts. PNG or BMP are better suited for this kind of file. You might try exporting with .jpeg then changing the extension. When you export from within Dia, it will show you which formats are available. -Lars -- Lars Clausen ([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://lars.raeder.dk) "I do not agree with a word that you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." --Evelyn Beatrice Hall paraphrasing Voltaire _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list Dia-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia
