Package: dia
Version: 0.94.0-3
Severity: normal
I recently used dia for a figure that was mostly blocks of text. I've
attached the diagram (if I remember!).
I experienced a variety of problems, mostly related to font size.
While I suspect they are related, I am not sure.
In general, I was entering text at non-default sizes; i.e., I kept
resetting the font size to 0.70, for example. Part way through I
discovered I could reset the default font size by clicking on the "T"
icon on the tools. I had problems both before and after doing that.
I was generally going to smaller font sizes.
I was running under KDE 3.2, and have installed various font-helping
packages:
fontconfig 2.2.3-4
libxft1 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8
libxft2 2.1.2-6
libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.3
defoma 0.11.8-0.1
xserver-xfree86 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8
and others I can't recall.
1. Text would display on the screen at the wrong size, generally very
tiny. In some cases changing the size in the text attributes up and
then back down would remedy the problem.
Note that the diagram, when printed, showed the fonts appropriately.
Resembles bug 277940.
Text size might change as focus changed. Various visual artifacts
were left on the screen. View->Redraw fixed the artifacts, but not
the wrong sizes.
I also saw the artifacts (remants of the previous, larger, image) when
I moved lines with arrows around or changed the size of the arrows.
2. Text displayed on the screen was not quite the same size as when
printed out. In particular, some text on the screen was completely
inside the black border of the surrounding box, but when printed out
it overlapped with that border.
3. Exported text was the wrong size. The form this took was that one
(or maybe two) of the text items showed in a very large font when
exported to png. I had somewhat better luck with png export via
GdkPixbuf than via the direct portable network graphics option.
Resembles 269218 and 2730, except those concern export to eps. That
worked OK for me. Also, I believe the pattern was that the text
element that had focus (or maybe the one that had had focus just
before?) was the one with the problem.
The png exports are all way too small to be viewed with ImageMagick's
display command, or using Firefox of Konqueror browsers. I'm not sure
if that's a problem, or just to be expected. Export to eps and
conversion to pdf produced viewable stuff. But that is all kind of
off topic for this bug, since it concerns the size of the figure, not
individual text elements.
4. Focus problem: I would double-click on one text item, but
adjustments to its size affected the previous item.
5. Focus problem: there was one text box I was completely unable to
focus on or highlight. Sorry, I can't remember which or find it
again (I suspect the problem is no longer present).
All of this behavior was erratic, but it was frequent enough to make
my work quite a bit harder.
Probably filing these all as separate bugs (or additions to existing
ones), with exact reproduction recipes, would be the right thing to
do, but I don't have sufficient time for that now, and thought some
report before I forgot it all would be useful.
It seems likely these are all upstream issues.
I did not try these operations with earlier versions of dia.
