It may be sufficient for dia to only support utf-8. You generally dont
create dia files by hand, so you probably shouldnt care which encoding
they are
in. If you want to view/edit or print dia source code, then many apps
(IE,Mozilla)
exist that work fine for that. If you are writing scripts then there
should be
no difficulty in translating to utf-8, as there are many libraries
available
for that. If you always edit dia files from within dia, then it shouldnt
be an
issue whatsoever.
