Thank very much Guy, Shlomi and Nadav for their answers. I was very pleasantly surprized by Open Office draw, which is, probably the way I will go. The UTF8 capability of inkscape seems to be an afterthought. It it very inconvenient to use it for more that adding a couple of characters. Upon browsing some revues and tutorials on the net, dia seems to be as much American-English oriented as xfig. It may be better for diagrasms, but, in this case, I need to make a sketch of the water installation on the roof. I cherish old, antiquated xfig for such jobs, because of the very simple structure of its files, which makes it easy to start with a very imprecise sketch, as befitting my lack of skill in the matter, and then change the values in the file, to the correct ones. As long as these sketches were for my exclusive use, the lack of localization was irrelevant, but now I wish to distribute copies to the neighbours living under the same roof. Cheers, Avraham -- Please avoid sending Excel or Powerpoint attachments to this address.
