just for curiosity, do you have the problem in all parts
of dia, or just some:

does it look right in any of these places:
        inside the properties dialog box for a uml object?
        on the canvas for same?
        in the titlebar if you open a file with an n~?
        any other places you can type in text?

and did the copy&paste trick work?

(I have problems with copy/paste- it doesnt seem to work
correctly with utf-8 text, but that is another discussion)

Just totally guessing- but if you have multiple versions
of gtk installed, you can find out which dia uses with

ldd `which dia`

It might be different than the one used by the other
gtk apps...
