On SuSE Linux I just import them automatically into X-Server (via 
Control Center or YaST). Maybe read some documentation of your 
distribution?! If you're running a windows license you're allowed to use 
even TTF's on Linux, via symbolic links (and no copying) you even don't 
break any licensing rules. Otherwise look "http://www.schriftart.net/"; 
(german) for free fonts or treat google the right way. (Some 
distributions include a lot of free fonts.)

After importing, installing, whatever, dia can use the available fonts. 
[funky item in drop down list of property menu provides more than only 
sans, serif and monospaced :-), makes a cute font choosing dialog. ]

Was this the answer to the last part of your question?

P.S.:

I think it's not enough to just link windows' font-directory or it's 
content into a linux directory. Some conversion must be done, I'm not an 
expert but there is a funny progress bar when importing fonts, lot of 
status messages, that sort of thing. (Everything on SuSE Linux)
