I'm preparing an updated Dia for Windows installer to overcome a security problem in the included freetype-6.dll.

I would be glad to get some feedback from testers who try out the DLL
with the 0.96.1 release. The file is included in

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/dia-installer/freetype-dev-2.3.4.zip

This will also secure your system.

I'm probably dense, but what should I do with it? Take the DLL in the zip archive and replace some DLL in my system, and then check that Dia still launches properly?
