Test Dia file

Dia (latest version from git repository; tested unter Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit) has a
problem exporting text into PDF and PNG files (and probably other formats,
too). Sometimes, spaces are too large and some letters are overlapping. An
example Dia file is attached.

AFAIK this is caused by a kerning flaw in Pango, see bug #573261 for some more information. It should works fine by choosing a different font w/o kerning problems.
