Ok, I will begin to work it. please give me the details.

BTW I have another question. it's about gnome-print support.
Dia can print it out without gnome-print. but it's just
complex that support the printing for CJK. so Dia also can't
handle it. if the printer has no fonts for CJK, current
implementation will not be print out even if possible.
so it needs to implement like gnome-print for printing with
all of environment, I think. I mean the fonts should be
embedded on PS.
for example, this problem should occur on Windows too. but I
don't try to run it on Windows. doesn't anyone fall on this
problem?
