Hello I am using dia and after migrating from Xubuntu22.04 to xubuntu 24.04 dia is so slow that it has become unusable. Any suggestion would be welcome.
FYI...
Just in case there are others that use or have used DIA...
Several years ago I used the DIA Diagram Editor a lot for diagramming networks etc. It was a great simple to use tool!
To install on ubuntu: sudo apt install dia
A couple years went by where I'd not needed to use DIAt and during that time Ubuntu went through at least 1 LTS update.
In the past couple months I'd been working on a project that I needed to produce some diagrams for again and started to use DIA again.
But for some reason its performance when entering/editing Text was really terrible with sometimes long delay's between a "click" and an action.
I had been searching for any info on reports of this and any possible fixes.
Today I discovered the fix and it had to do with the massive number of Font's that are enabled in Ubuntu.
So following the Tip I read I installed the application font-manager.
$ sudo apt install font-manager -y
The fix... run font-manager and disable all fonts but the ones you actually use!
After that DIA's performance will be back to normal!
