In most of the other software font choosing goes like this: "Helvetica,
12 pt, bold". That "pt" means (typographic) points, of course. But in Dia
it is done in really un-intuitive and impractival way: It differs way too
much from rest of the software in this whole fscking universe:
"Helvetica, 1.00, bold,". WTF??++???? What is that unit it is using,
when choosing size of the font? Why it uses such stupid unit? What is so
great in that unit? Why, oh why, it does not use typographic points, just
like every other software? What the hell author of this software have bee=
n
smoking?
How about reading HIG (Human Interface Guidelines) of Gnome project
before doing more mistakes in interface?

Hi,
upstream doesn't consider this being a bug. Consider discussing it
directly with them.
bye,
Roland
