G'Day Siamak,
Please look at the FAQ, item 24 on the Dia web site
(http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/). It says:
Q: Why does my copy of Dia for Windows die when I try to load it?
A: Because the HOME environment variable is not set. Add a line like this to
your autoexec.bat file:

G'Day Cyrille,
Given that I'm using dia a lot at the moment (under x86 GNU/Linux) I'd be
interested in using the latest CVS version (currently using 0.88.1) and
looking for runtime bugs (if there are any) in your new code.

Yes, you can copy and paste between two diagrams (providing you don't load
two instances of Dia). If you have problems with copying and pasting and can
reproduce them let us know!
Best of luck!

What about WMF import? Surely OO can import this? Dia can export this under

Erwin,
Please tell us what version of Dia you are using, and on what platform (i.e.
GNU/Linux, Win32 etc). This will help us work out whether we have already
fixed the bug.
Thank you.

Sorry it's take a while to reply. To fix this, just remove the file
sheets/build-sheets.stamp and then run make again. It seems to then generate
all the .sheet files.
Hope this helps.

Greg,
Firstly, look at Q29 of the FAQ. What I've written below is somewhat
repeated there.
Take a look at the file doc/custom-shapes (wherever you have installed dia -
try locate custom-shapes). It is brief on details, but is a good starter.
Also look at the shapes/Circuit and sheets/Circuit.she
Given the plea for us users to try out the Freetype code, I thought I'd give
it a go. I am running Gnu/Linux (RH7.2) and had Freetype 2.0.3 installed
(default for RH7.2). Compiling bombed out as FT_Get_Postscript_Name wasn't

This is a known problem and has been fixed in CVS. Sadly there hasn't been a
'stable' release recently, but CVS does work OK. For help in compiling etc
PLEASE read recent posts to the list - most people have the same problems
with libraries, etc.
If you don't want to touch the actual CVS, or like

G'Day,
If you use a snapshot (see any Changelog in the list archive) then you don't
need to run autogen.sh.
You will, however need to ensure that you have all the libraries required to
compile, as with CVS.

Is this under Win32 or Unix?? If Win32 then the 256 colour problem is a

In 0.90 RC1, under RH7.3, a segfault can occur if a font face does not have
a family_name e.g. wadalab-gothic.ttf
To stop this happening, a simple check is required.
in lib/font.c at line 583 (in freetype_add_font, after the if (error) { } )
please insert
if (face->family_name == NULL)

G'Day,
I've just downloaded the latest Dia (previously using 0.94), and I've
noticed that the Metapost export horizontal alignment is a little
broken.
Looking at the code, it appears that it's due to the text line
improvements - Metapost is now told to left align all text and this
doesn't work

When you say it crashes, are there any error messages? Or does it just

There's a small but annoying bug in the metapost output when scaling is

The doco updates are good too. They don't cover the new text edit mode -
