RE: Dia on Windows doesn't print or export correctly

["Miguel Angel Garcia" <magarcia redia com>]

To James: I don't think so because I'm not only printing but exporting
i.e. to eps. When I open the eps with ghostscript+gsview, the page has
been cut.

To Cyrille: I knew the WMF effect, when you generate such a file and
insert it into Word, you clearly see how the diagram has been cut. More
curious, you can scale the WMF inside Word (without quality loss because
is a vectorial format - I guess) and print it out - correctly!

Anyway, as I imagined, this problem doesn't occur in Linux, does it?

Thanks again!

Miguel

Or it could be related to the fact that when dia(win32) exports to WMF,
the WMF's boundary box is always off by a little. This WMF, for
instance, has been exported by .92.2; it's a simple rectangle. 
Import both files into MS Word, and next try to select the pictures --
things should be pretty obvious.

Maybe this has been fixed with .93, I haven't upgraded my office box
yet. (note that the PNG also has a little boundary box problem).
