dia 9.1-pre2 crash on startup

[Martin Hans <opfinder gmx net>]

Hi,
I just managed to compile dia 9.1-pre2 on my Mandrake 8.2 box (which was not 
easy since upgrading pango required me to upgrade a lot of other stuff 
including glibc, XFree86, tetex and gcc. This also meant my X was broken and 
so is currently my CTRL-key and some of the fonts - today is not a good day 
to upgrade from Mandrake 8.2 to the unstable cooker version - I should have 
waited for 9.1). When rpm-hell was finally over, dia compiled fine.

But then, when I start dia I get:

martin@chachacha ~/builds/dia-0.91-pre2 $ app/run_dia.sh

** (lt-dia:31245): WARNING **: Cannot open font file for font Arial 10
app/run_dia.sh: line 18: 31245 Segmentation fault      
/home/martin/builds/dia-0.91-pre2/app/dia $*
martin@chachacha ~/builds/dia-0.91-pre2 $

It turns out the upgrading killed most of my true-type fonts including Arial. 
But I think dia should respond in a more sensible manner to this. I am unable 
to find any ~/.dia or so which could specify the Arial font so I have no clue 
where it gets this setting.

I'll try to see if I can install those fonts again one of these days.

Martin

Here are some details about the crash - is this enough?
