Running that does not help (and I am running 0.90).

The error APPEARS to be that the fonts Dia is naming ("Courier Oblique")
doesn't match up with an existing font on my system ("Using
adobe-*-x-y-z-courier-12-18-12-*-*-* instead") (I just made up that font,
but it looks something like that).

Do I need to be downloading some particular font pack, or running some X
fonts generation script?

I've got Mandrake 8.1 which seems to be a pretty standard distro. Is Dia
being developed on something that maybe has some extra font aliases
defined?
