It just arrived in cvs. Here's the ChangeLog entry:

2002-06-23  Hans Breuer  <hans@breuer.org>

	* lib/font.[hc] : starting to beautify the new
	font api: proper namespacing, adding convenience
	functions like dia_font_new_from_style(), ...

	* objects/uml/*.c : use the new convenience functions.

	[Next thing I plan to do is changing the other font
	 functions to take DiaStyle and make Style and 
	 BASIC_*_FONT vanish. As well as giving some love to
	 dia_font_new_from_legacy_name().
	 If anyone want's to help on converting the other
	 objects to the new api during that, I would highly 
	 appreciate it.]

That is searching for BASIC_ in the other objects and replace
it by the simpler dia_font_new_from_style call as is done in
the uml object already. Taking and commiting one object at
a time is probably the right way to go ... 

Thanks,
	Hans
