Rorschach, did you actually read any of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dia/+bug/463078/comments/17 ?
If so, you not only know why this isn't supported, but that you have various other svg export options to choose from in Dia, except for exactly one: Cairo Scalable Vector Graphic (*.svg) As well, it's not a default for any other reason then it's in alphabetical order. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to dia in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/463078 Title: Dia export to Cairo PNG causes mangled text fonts Status in “dia” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: dia Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10 dia 0.97-2 dia-common 0.97-2 dia-libs 0.97-2 libcairo2 1.8.8-2ubuntu1 libfreetype6 2.3.9-5 libpango1.0-0 1.26.0-1 libpango1.0-common 1.26.0-1 Method to demonstrate: load the file "text.dia" then export to PNG using Cairo and export to PNG using Pixbuf -- the character layout has a strange gap in the Cairo output. Note that output PNG files are also attached to this bug report, and this problem happens with various other more complex dia outputs as well as this simple example.
