Hi Hans, dia-list, I have now figured out what the real problem is: On 6/19/05, Askadar <askadar gmail com> wrote:

I get various error messages trying to open the files, most of the time they still open but the shapes and lines are all messed up, but I even have witnessed segmentation faults.Without either more specific bug description or a diagram which would allow to reproduce the misbehaviour real diagnosis will be near impossible.For some reason I am not able to reproduce this myself now. It's possible that I accidently used the older version of dia (0.92.2) to work on the diagrams before using version 0.94, possibly leading to the errors (?). It would be a nice feature if dia would pop up a warning message when trying to parse diagrams that are too new.
This is wrong, I did not mix the versions used. What happened is this: While trying to reproduce the errors I changed my LANG environment variable to "" so that I would get english error messages. Suddenly everything worked. When working on the project a few hours later I did not change the language, the errors reappeared. A/usr/local/bin/dia -e testfall_shell.eps -t eps testfall.dia gain changing the language solved the problem. On Suse (german install) the default is: askadar rincewind:~> env | grep LANG LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 This seems to be a bug, but I don't have a gnome bugzilla account... Another question, what method is used for eps export when using /usr/local/bin/dia -e testfall_shell.eps -t eps testfall.dia ? I expected it to use Latin-1 fonts (I need this for LaTeX pstricks), but found out that it did not work: askadar rincewind:~/Desktop/swt/uni> grep TEST testfall_gui_latin.eps (TEST STRING) 9.450000 5.900000 m gs 1 -1 sc sh gr askadar rincewind:~/Desktop/swt/uni> grep TEST testfall_gui_pango.eps askadar rincewind:~/Desktop/swt/uni> grep TEST testfall_shell.eps This was quite annoying since I could not automatically export all diagrams at once, but had to manually do it via the gui. Cheers, Björn
