Why don the fonts work right?
Font support is not very standard in X, especially when you want to make images, print, and send the files to other people. In Dia version 0.90 and earlier, you can improve things by installing the urw-aliases package (or the GhostScript fonts). After installing the package, you will need to do a simple edit of a config file.

After installing the package, you will need to do a simple edit of a config file. Edit /etc/X11/fs/config and move the line /usr/share/fonts/default/urw-aliases to just below the …:unscaled lines (make sure the commas are in the correct places after making the change). Then run killall -USR1 xfs to get the font server to reread its config file. The URW fonts should be used in place of the adobe ones they are clones of when an unscaled bitmap version can’t be found.
