Re @Cerin's workaround, I didn't have any other PDF options other than Cairo (on 14.04 and dia 0.97.2)
I went and manually installed the latest .debs from 16.04, and they fix the printing issues. Here's what I did:

Download the amd64 .deb from these URLs:
 * http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/dia-common/download
 * http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/dia-libs/download
 * http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/dia/download

sudo dpkg -i dia-common*.deb
sudo dpkg -i dia-libs*.deb
sudo dpkg -i dia*.deb

Now, I can print to PDF without any kerning issues.

I think this really needs to be sent back to 14.04 somehow, probably from the general updates repo. According to the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports page, this probably doesn't fall into the normal backports category since 0.97.3 doesn't provide any new features (I haven't checked, assuming so).
