Bug#284421: dia: Problems with Text

[Ross Boylan]

Here's an update on this bug, which I think is probably ready to
close, particularly if you find you can't reproduce the problem
either.

I just sent this upstream
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161045):

--------------------------------------------------
Still running dia 0.94, but now on Debian 0.94.0-7 vs the original -3.

I'm not sure if this is good or bad news, but I'm completely unable to
reproduce the problem, even for fonts [upstream asked if it was
limited to fonts].  It may be relevant than one of
the changes from -3 to -7 was 

  * lib/font.c: Applied upstream patch to disable font caching
    (Closes: #273625)

It may also be relevant that I recently discovered a syntax error in
/etc/fonts/local.conf which is used by fontconfig.  Since I fixed it
my fonts seem to be a lot better, so I suspect fontconfig wasn't
working properly before.

Many other packages have been upgraded as well in the interim.

This seems consistent with Lars's [upstream] theory that this problem
was a side effect of others.  So it may be appropriate to close it.  I
wonder if Roland also finds this bug unreproducible now.
