Well, even if dia uses \xc2\xab and \xc2\xbb instead of \xab
and \xbb, current codes will not display correctly because
it specifies locale specific charset for fonts, and when dia
display the text, it convert UTF-8 to locale encoding.
If it doesn't do that, dia needs to use iso-10646-1 instead
of locale encoding. but it needs to convert all of
characters that dia and GTK+ handles.
I don't think that it is better the works for GNOME1.4. if
you want to do that, you should change the target to
GNOME2.0.
