I figured out the issue.. It's even in the dia FAQ. The problem is
that dia is using the urw fonts, but it really wants the urw font
aliases (which are not distributed as part of Red Hat -- I don't know
about Solaris).
You can grab this package:
http://www.mail-archive.com/dia-list@lysator.liu.se/msg02705/urw-aliases-0.0-1.noarch.rpm
Which installs the aliases, modifies the xfs config, and restarts xfs.
Then fonts work properly.
It installs two files:
/usr/share/fonts/default/urw-aliases/fonts.dir
/usr/share/fonts/default/urw-aliases/fonts.scale
Perhaps this package could be included in Athena? I dont know.
Unfortunately it isn't distributed by anyone in particular.
Also note that I haven't tested the fonts on Solaris, so I don't know
if it's an issue there or not.
