Hi, I'm new to dia and I'm pretty interested in using it, especially to draw diagrams with Chinese characters. Thus I downloaded the cvs snapshot of 20020509 (may 9 2002), compiled it on a rh7.3 system, and tried to create a diagram containing Chinese characters. Here are some observations based on my experience:
o Environment: redhat-7.3, locale: zh_CN.GB2312, XFree86 4.1.0 (the Chinese input server xcin does not work with the XFree86-4.2.0 of rh7.3). o Configure options: --prefix=/usr --enable-unicode --enable-gnome-print (I got segfault with "--enable-freetype" with a certain diagram, and compilation fails with "--enable-gnome" because some function "gnome_set_sensitivity(?)" is missing). o Chinese input works. Chinese characters can be correctly displayed by selecting one of the two Chinese GB fonts: BousungEG-Light-GB and GBZenKai-Medium o Export to png works, but export and print to PostScript do not work (the Chinese characters are simply missing). Another remark: it may be a good idea to create postscript files with in-document (vector or bitmap) fonts for chinese characters, such documents are perfectly portable. o Export to TeX works, but the Chinese characters are in utf-8 encoding (it is desirable that conversion be done by dia according to current locale when exporting). I hope that someone may look at the problems stated above.
