Re: Some text not printing correctly, letters overprint

Chris,

The only answer to this question is, maybe - an opinion.  OK to one may not seem so to you and vice versa.

On your other quest, one of the main features of Dia compared to the commercial product from M$, is you have the ability to make your own shapes and organize them into palettes as you like them.

Have a whack at it.  There is Help.  I never liked doing them myself, but plenty of people do.

OK, thanks for that, do you know if the 0.97.3 code will compile
fairly painlessly on [x]ubuntu 13.10?  I'm happy to pull in some
dependencies but I don't want dozens of them.

How/where can I get a reasonably stable 0.97.3 beta (or pre-beta)? If
I do:-
    git clone git://git.gnome.org/dia

will I get something OK[ish]?
