Maze" To: Debian Bug Tracking System Subject: dia is too metric X-Reportbug-Version: 0.54 X-Mailer: reportbug 0.54 Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2000 21:58:01 -0500 Message-Id: Sender: "David Z. Maze" Package: dia Version: 0.84-1 Severity: normal dia's default paper size is A4, which is great for European users but not so wonderful for US people, who generally use 8.5x11 "letter" sized paper. dia should probably respect the setting of /etc/papersize in determining its default document size. Also, dia does everything in metric units. This is probably all well and good, but I'm a little more comfortable in English units (inches and points). There doesn't seem to be a setting in dia to change its default units away from centimeters; there probably should be. -- System Information Debian Release: 2.2 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux donut 2.2.13 #1 Mon Mar 20 17:57:48 EST 2000 i586 Versions of packages dia depends on: ii gdk-imlib1 1.9.8-4 Gdk-Imlib is an imaging library fo ii libart2 1.0.56-2 The Gnome canvas widget ii libc6 2.1.3-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libglib1.2 1.2.7-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk1.2 1.2.7-1 The GIMP Toolkit set of widgets fo ii libpng2 1.0.5-1 PNG library - runtime ii libpopt0 1.4-1 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libxml1 1.8.7-1 GNOME XML library ii xlib6g 3.3.6-6 shared libraries required by X cli ii zlib1g [libz1] 1:1.1.3-5 compression library - runtime
