Dia doesn't know anything about those things. If your X thinks it's 75 dpi, that'd be the place to start fixing. Gimp user setup has a nice dialog for figuring out actual DPI. Don't know what GTK cares about this -- the other place to look is probably font-config. > 2. Does this message matter?

It means there's a broken xslt plugin installation lying around. Not to worry, unless of course you want to use XSLT. The selectable messages is a GTK2 thing. > 3.
