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/amd64/dia-common/download * http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/dia-libs/download * http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/dia/download sudo dpkg -i dia-common*.deb sudo dpkg -i dia-libs*.deb sudo dpkg -i dia*.deb Now, I can print to PDF without any kerning issues. I think this really needs to be sent back to 14.04 somehow, probably from the general updates repo. According to the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports page, this probably doesn't fall into the normal backports category since 0.97.3 doesn't provide any new features (I haven't checked, assuming so). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/463078 Title: Dia export to Cairo PNG causes mangled text fonts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dia/+bug/463078/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
