Though I may have to install Illustrator to format them :( I was trying to stay away from expensive bloatware by using Dia. Know of any good SVG viewer/printers on Win32? The only free one I've found is the Adobe SVG viewer and that only appears to work in IE. Thanks ;) At least I *know* that this is a Win32 bug and I'm not just doing something silly.
