Problems Printing with dia-0.90 on Windows NT

[Leonardo Javier Belén <lbelen afip gov ar>]

I have a strange problem. When I try to utilize the printing function in my
diagrams using the scalling functionality, The printer seems to lose data
and all the resulting work is unreadable. Do you know if this is a bug an
how to solve it?

Thank you for your help. Im sure is quite obviuos, but I'm still a newbie
for this app.

Do you have libpopt(-devel) installed?

The binary files from plug-ins and objects are installed in
/usr/local/lib/dia, normally.  The things found in
/usr/local/share/dia/plugins are xsl translation schemas, non-binary
data
needed for a plugin.

(Adjust prefix as needed)

Ick.  Can you run it in gdb to get an idea what goes wrong?

I have no idea about the workings of the input methods.  They are all
implemented by GTK.

I see the missing text color, but the font attributes are there.

I'll have to try the gnome version.

That's good to know, we'll use that in the future.
