An explanation about this could be what they explain in this url: http://projects.gnome.org/dia/fonts.html * The diagram was imported automatically with the right layout but without the red color in the boxes. This was fixed without problems manually. After converting this file to DIA I have generated several other formats from it. Here are they: http://folk.uio.no/rafael/pgsql_diagrams/ * png, jpeg and eps are generated with the right layout, color and font size. * xfig is generated with the right layout and color but the font size is too big * svg has big problems with the font size under google chrome and is 'almost' right under firefox. - -- Rafael Martinez, Center for Information Technology Services University of Oslo, Norway PGP Public Key: http://folk.uio.no/rafael/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkvVRmUACgkQBhuKQurGihREXwCdHzYcLsSw4CKnk/TT/Qh4ruAH 5MkAn1DU0UKs04YaFJaYznTxAursM64i =0ed1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
