[Fwd: Dia bugs]

[Elijah P Newren <newren math utah edu>]

Hi all,

After looking over tons of dia bugs, I got the following email from Lars
Clausen.  I was wondering if this information should go on a web page
somewhere or if there might be a way in general for maintainers to
provide hints to the bugsquad on how to recognize common duplicates.

> 52836:  When selecting any item from the Tools menu, Dia crashes.  This is
> fixed in 0.90.  Note that many people don't understand at first what the
> Tools menu does and so report the crash as something slightly different.
> See the dups for what it looks like.

> 76298:  Crashes when selecting 'Help->Manual'.  Not seen too often, fixed
> in 0.90.
> 
> 79618:  Crashes when opening the Properties dialog.  Not to be confused
> with 89640, which is a text handling bug in 0.90.
> 
> 50750:  Antialiasing or PNG save crash.  Finally fixed in 0.91.

> 89640: Crashes when adding any object using text.  This is due to lack of
> local fonts (remote X server).  Installing some basic local fonts helps
> (gsfonts-x11 for Debian, most likely urw-fonts for RedHat).
