Suddenly the fonts in all my diagrams have fonts, ruining the layout of some of them. I tried deleting Dia's configuration, but it didn't help.

The only thing I can think of that might have caused it is installing LibreOffice yesterday. How does Dia decide which fonts to use and where does it get them from? I haven't changed any font settings in Dia, and my diagrams all use default fonts.

I'm using Dia 0.97.2.

Dia uses the standard fonts that the operating system provides.

  • Did you check your diagrams on a second system?
  • Have you tried to uninstall the software that triggered your problem?
  • Could you give an example of a font that you're using?

  • I'm using the default fonts, but I can't find a setting where I can see what those are. Some of the objects have a font setting, the selected font there is "sans". So I guess the problem is that which font "sans" is can change depending on which fonts you have installed on the system. – torhu Jun 26 '13 at 15:44
  • I could change the font to just Arial or something, but not all of the UML objects have got a font setting at all. So I'm stuck with the defaults if I want to avoid using several different fonts in the same chart. So maybe the best solution is to just export a diagram as SVG when it's done, and not rely on the original file being usable. – torhu Jun 26 '13 at 15:48

    Dia 0.98 will provide more comprehensive control over UML object fonts. – Steffen Macke Jun 28 '13 at 11:07
