Bug Description
Hi, I've been using zim for a couple of years now. Recently the "Show Link Map" option has been returning the error:
Dot viewer:
1:44:unexpected char '-'
I initially thought this might be caused by imported text (soft hyphens?) but I tried it out on a clean wiki and ran into the same problem. Zim can produce maps up to about 30-50 nodes and then starts returning this error and giving a blank map.
I am using the latest 0.63 version of zim on ubuntu.
zim -D shows:
INFO: This is zim 0.63
DEBUG: Python version is sys.version_

revision: 765 <email address hidden>
date: 2015-06-13 21:48:28 +0200
DEBUG: Action: show_linkmap
DEBUG: Opening dialog "LinkMap - Zim"
Any ideas what is causing this?

Probably it is caused by an update in the GraphViz software. The dot viewer
widget parses an internal fomrat of the GraphViz toolkit and tends to break
with syntax changes :(
Can you check the version of the "dot" command that you have?
