Pango handles all the text rendering.
those error messages are saying pango was not found.

if you still have an older version of Dia installed somewhere you should
compare the two and see if files are missing, or if the program is
failing to find them.  You might be able to fix the problem by manually
moving some files to where they need to be, but i have not tried out the
recent rerelease so I cant really say.

(Sorry for the not particularly helpful answer but I try to make sure
people always get some sort of a reply and considering the current
crapflood I am getting from that windows virus I am pretty sure I have
accidentally deleted loads of mails I should have seen and replied to)
