Thank you Jonathan Seawright.
I have Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS, and your suggestion worked for me.

Title:
Dia export to Cairo PNG causes
Re @Cerin's workaround, I didn't have any other PDF options other than Cairo
(on 14.04 and dia 0.97.2)
I went and manually installed the latest .debs from 16.04, and they fix the
printing issues. Here's what I did:
Download the amd64 .deb from these URLs:
*
To anyone still confused by this, the workaround (at least in Ubuntu 14)
is to simply not use any export option labeled "Cairo". Cairo simply
doesn't handle text very well. If you need to export to PNG or SVG, use
one of the PNG or SVG export option that's non-Cairo based. These worked
perfectly
For asavah: you should be able to fix via backports:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a backport for this fix, so
yes, LTS ... can be a bit frustrating ...

To asavah, check above I believe he said you need version 15.04 or
better.
However, I will admit I have not tested it, having moved to CentOS some
years ago.

Which fix was released?
I'm still having same problem on trusty 14.04.
Isn't it possible to fix the goddamn bug is SIX years?

Thanks to Petur's suggestion, I changed my fonts from sans to monospace,
and that seems to help. I can now output PDFs via the Cairo library.

Yes, this happend to me to. I changed all fonts from serif to monospace.
All text looks decent.

Title:
Dia export to Cairo PNG
This bug affects me too on Linux Mint 17.1 with dia 0.97.2-15ubuntu1
from the Ubuntu Trusty repository. I'll probably look at the procedure
posted by penalvch tonight.

In case anyone else comes along with the same problem: I was able to
work around by choosing the file type during export and instead of using
Cairo PNG, I used PNG (anti-aliased). This doesn't give you a
transparency option, but for my purposes it worked fine.

Tel, regarding the scope of this report, I am closing it because the bug
has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Vivid
Vervet.
This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in
previous versions of Ubuntu, please perform as much as possible of the
SRU
As a workaround, I do this:
- View Show grid disable
- View Show connection points disable
- Ubuntu 14.04 snapshot select area to grab
Cumbersome but working :-/

Christopher,
The bug report is about exporting to PNG (see title), so saying Won't
fix because export to SVG is deprecated seems odd.
The only reason SVG got mentioned in this bug report is because it
appears to be the only format that *isn't* broken.
Can confirm that PNG PDF are both broken
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):

This is a serious problem that prevents us from sharing Dia files as images. As
a result, my client is pushing me to some stupid cloud based flowchart system
because I can't produce a flow chart they can read. If people are spending the
Rorschach, did you actually read any of
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dia/+bug/463078/comments/17 ?
If so, you not only know why this isn't supported, but that you have various
other svg export options to choose from in Dia, except for exactly one:
Cairo Scalable Vector Graphic

Tel, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
Exporting to Cairo Scalable Vector Graphic (*.svg) is deprecated. Any
problems with it will not be addressed in Dia. Please switch to a
different SVG format. For more on this, please see

Thanks for the pointers. Tried swapping for Arial and it almost worked.
Still having an issue with capital A's. Need to put a space before
them. Other than that, cleaned up the kerning issue.

For me it works if I change font family, test example Arial and set it
as default by doubleclicking the T icon, on Ubuntu 13:04, Dia 0.97.2

Yes, I confirm what Darrell says but for Ubuntu 13.04.
Running dia-normal 0.97.2 on ubuntu 13.04 renders exactly one mangled letter in
each of about 30% of the words in the exported files. Most of the mangled
letters are uppercase but few lower case letters are also affected.
--
You received
Running dia-normal 0.97.2 on ubuntu 13:10
This mangles text on certain characters when exporting to cairo pdf, png or
when printing.
Has anyone found a fix for this yet?
