dia does not find fonts

[Michael Maluck <michael maluck gmx de>]

Hi all,

some people already reported font problems with dia v0.88.1
I have this problem, too, but it does not appear on the
command line but when I create a new UML class objects for example.

I am using debian packages. Defoma is installed.

I get the following warning dialogs:
Warning no X Font for Helvetica-BoldOblique found, using fixed instead.
Warning no X Font for Helvetica-Bold found, using fixed instead.
Warning no X Font for Courier-Oblique found, using fixed instead.
Warning no X Font for Courier found, using fixed instead.

After all the graphical representation (width) is smaller then word 'class'!

Using dfontmgr I can find the following categories:
x-postscript
type 1
postscript

There is an alias for Helvetica-BoldOblique in all 3 categories.
I will now list the font information that dfontmgr shows me for all categories:

x-postscript
