RE: Print problem (win32?)

["Ribeiro, Glauber" <Glauber Ribeiro experian com>]

Thanks. Next time hopefully i'll remember to check Bugzilla before bothering
you.

This is a bad problem, as stated in the bug, for UML diagrams.

The workaround is to export to a wmf file and then import the graphic into,
e.g., Word, and print from there. The wmf file has the lines dashed as they
should be.

No, but a bug report. Found by

component : dia
description : dashed

-> http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109818

As noted in the bug report there would be an easy fix for NT
based systems (but the wmf output would get more complicated
for other importers, too). 
IMO the OS specific code should not be added to the wmf plug-in,
which is used for printing as well - as long as win9x based Dia 
is not officially dead. [It'll proably die at the same day as 
my small notebook :-]
