Mostly, yes, although I had to apply the letters by hand - the original icons are available in PDF, and it's pretty painless to convert that to SVG with XPM previews. Fortunately SVG has a very similar path model to PostScript.
The shape files could be halved in size if I rescaled the numbers to get rid of spurious accuracy - I'll look at this for a future release. It would also be much simpler if I could put text in shape files, although I admit that cross-platform font issues would make this impractical. The quality of the XPMs is pretty poor - I just converted them through GhostScript, and they would look much better if they were all the same size, say. If anyone else has a pile of icons they'd like to use in Dia, I'm happy to help convert them - if you can get them into PostScript, e.g. by printing them, the rest is pretty easy. Ian Redfern.
