Italics in Dia PDF export

["LIST, John W." <john list oup com>]

Hello everyone,
    I've been a happy Dia user in various environments for quite a while now so it was with some surprise 
that I encountered my first limitation in its use.

Simply put, I can create italic text in my Dia diagrams, I can happily export that italic text in raster 
graphic formats and in SVG, yet the italicisation disappears when I export to PDF or Postscript.

Have I stumbled upon a "feature", or am I doing something wrong?

Dia 0.97.1, MS Windows 7 Enterprise.

Excuse any tardy replies, I'm a digester.
