This is a problem in computing the bounding boxes for the Gtk fonts. It is much lessened by using FreeType (which is also prettier). I believe the problem was kludged around earlier and has been made worse during the Unicode translation. Your fonts are fine, most likely. If you want to see the exact bounding boxes, you can set render_bounding_boxes=true in ~/.dia/diarc (this is a debugging feature, and thus not shown in the preferences dialog). -Lars -- Lars Clausen (http://shasta.cs.uiuc.edu/~lrclause)| H�rdgrim of Numenor "I do not agree with a word that you say, but I |---------------------------- will defend to the death your right to say it." | Where are we going, and --Evelyn Beatrice Hall paraphrasing Voltaire | what's with the handbasket? _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list
