I don't know wich dia version you use. But,
(1) for aligning object i often use object->align
(2) for making a text (if you use) "T" bigger, double click then increase the
font size (or change its type...).
(3) for different font for different class, i think that's because you check
"abstract" !?
I think that you need some practice, or ask how to do before saying dia can't
do ...
But i agree with you dia has some points to improve.

Hello,
just a quick note. I started to use Dia on Windows. As an exercise I tried to
create an UML diagram.
After five minutes I had five boxes of different sizes, different font sizes.
Nothing can be changed or aligned.
Dia just does something random. Sorry to say that, but after playing an hour
with the program I found it only frustrating.
How can I get this diagram to be printed on one page, with equally sized boxes
and the same font size? This seems
to be the least thing it should do for all diagram elements. I really like the
specific properties dialog boxes for the different UML types,
where I can edit operations and attributes. But the result is unusable. Please
see the attached screenshot.
Or, what am I missing?
First I used "T" to create a title. The title is small, no possibility to make
it bigger.
I created a class and a box popped on the screen, so huge, I couldn't even read
it. Then I created another class,
and two others. All use different fonts. This is one of these programs where I
ask myself: "Are the
programmers really use this themselves?"
