Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dia

When exporting a PNG Cairo picture, a menu should pop up with the desired image 
dimensions.
This does not happen now with Dia 97-2.  What happens now is that a PNG image 
is generated with default dimensions that are too small by a factor of at least 
4,  causing most of the image detail to be lost.

A work around is to using PNG(anti-aliased). In this case, a size popup appears 
and you can specify the image
size. The default values given are too small by a factor of about 4 and you 
have to increase the number of pixels.
The default values should be calculated based on the smallest features in the 
images, probably fonts. 
A reasonable value would be 1 point of the font should translate to 1 pixel in 
the export image.
