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): https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=714296 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696128 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705164 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=573261 Debian has pushed a new version 0.97.2-16 which fixes this issue. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #696128 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696128 ** Also affects: dia via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696128 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #714296 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=714296 ** Also affects: dia (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=714296 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #705164 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705164 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #573261 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=573261 -- 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 - Diagram Tool: Unknown Status in “dia” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “dia” package in Debian: Unknown 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.
