It just arrived in cvs. Here's the ChangeLog entry:

2002-06-23  Hans Breuer  <hans breuer org>

        * lib/font.[hc] : starting to beautify the new
        font api: proper namespacing, adding convenience
        functions like dia_font_new_from_style(), ...

        * objects/uml/*.c : use the new convenience functions.

        [Next thing I plan to do is changing the other font
         functions to take DiaStyle and make Style and 
         BASIC_*_FONT vanish. As well as giving some love to
         dia_font_new_from_legacy_name().
         If anyone want's to help on converting the other
         objects to the new api during that, I would highly 
         appreciate it.]

That is searching for BASIC_ in the other objects and replace
it by the simpler dia_font_new_from_style call as is done in
the uml object already. Taking and commiting one object at
a time is probably the right way to go ... 

Thanks,
        Hans
