Description Paolo Gai 2004-08-19 18:17:21 UTC 
I noted a strange thing... I wanted to export a dia diagram in eps, but I
couldn't find the option for exporting in the command line

just run

dia --help

it shows on my machine:

[...]
  -t, --export-to-format=FORMAT          Export to file format and exit.
                                         Supported formats are: cgm, dia, dxf, 
                                       eps, eps-pango, fig, mp, plt, hpgl,
                                         png, shape, svg, tex, wpg
[...]

but:
- eps and eps-pango produce the same file (are they the same option?)
- eps-builtin is not listed --> should it?

Thanks for all,

PJ

I think that eps means eps-builtin.

Besides I can reproduce the bug consistently. I discovered it when at Debian, we
encountered the following bug:

Comment 2 Paolo Gai 2004-08-31 16:47:14 UTC 
Yes, that's right. if you export using eps or eps-pango, you get really bad font
that in my case are not converted in text when converted in pdf (for usage with
pdflatex).

but I can get a nice export when using "eps-builtin@ instead of "eps"

	* app/app_procs.c : mention eps-builtin aka. "using
	latin1", does not fix the eps-pango issues but #150571
