Title:
Dia export to Cairo PNG causes mangled text f
Re @Cerin's workaround, I didn't have any other PDF options other than Cairo
(on 14.04 and dia 0.97.2)
I went and manually installed the latest .debs from 16.04, and they fix the
printing issues. Here's what I did:
Download the amd64 .deb from these URLs:
* http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd
To anyone still confused by this, the workaround (at least in Ubuntu 14)
is to simply not use any export option labeled "Cairo". Cairo simply
doesn't handle text very well. If you need to export to PNG or SVG, use
one of the PNG or SVG export option that's non-Cairo based. These worked
perfectly fo

However, I will admit I have not tested it, having moved to CentOS some

In case anyone else comes along with the same problem: I was able to
work around by choosing the file type during export and instead of using
Cairo PNG, I used PNG (anti-aliased). This doesn't give you a
transparency option, but for my purposes it worked fine.

Ok, I think I've found the confusion. This bug got linked to the wrong
upstream bug. The upstream bug linked is gnome-bugs #735493 which is
about SVG.
It should be linked to the following bugs (which I've tried to do):

Christopher,
The bug report is about exporting to PNG (see title), so saying "Won't
fix" because export to SVG is deprecated seems odd.
The only reason SVG got mentioned in this bug report is because it
appears to be the only format that *isn't* broken.
Can confirm that PNG & PDF are both broken
