I'm having some serious problems with Dia right now.
The courier font that dia is using is showing up different on the
screen and when printed. I'm using ghostscript to render the print,
and have the ghostscript fonts (the urw ones) installed.
I'm running debian, and I've got the gsfonts and gsfonts-x11 packages
installed. The -x11 package provides symlinks to the ghostscript
fonts into /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1, and provides aliases for them.
Additionally, I'm using xfs to serve the fonts up. I get duplicate
font entries for courier (and probably others, but I'll just
concentrate on these for now), which I assume come from the standard
fonts in xfonts-scalable, and the additional gsfonts showing up.
So, presumably, the problem is that dia is just using whatever courier
font it finds first, which happens to be the wrong one for display,
but then when printed, it's using the other font?
Out of curiousity, why have the fonts been hard-coded in dia? If I
were able to select a different font, this wouldn't be a problem...
The URW courier alias points to a nimbus font, but that doesn't show
up in the list. (obviously)
I looked at lib/font.c, and even tried switching the courier font to
nimbus (sans, etc) but dia complaind about the courier font and
reverted to the backup font.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the URW courier font to
be used for display?
Thanks,
