The 'entirely different font' may be the reason more than anything else.

Oh, yeah, Zoom In and Zoom Out should have such.  I usually in Gimp assign
single number keys to zoom steps (1(00%), 2(00%), 4(00%), 5(0%)), but
because of our current text input system, that won't do in Dia.  I have
plans to change text input radically ... at some point when I get the time:(
