I've been using Dia for years. It's good. When using Dia, I'd suggest you first get your fonts right with one box, and then copy that box elsewhere. I know of no way to globally change fonts (other than tweaking with Dia's native XML using Vim). If you are ever interested in changing your drawing programatically, see this: http://www.troubleshooters.com/tpromag/200103/200103.htm#_learningfromthemasters I typically use Dia, and then as a final step convert to .gif before incorporation in LyX or HTML. If you find a way to use native Dia files directly in LyX (or HTML without requiring special browser plugins), please let us know.
