Software for Diagrams?

I would like to make my own tacticpuzzles, and print it, for trainingpurposes.

What kind of (preferable free) software do you suggest I should use?

winboard.

I use chessbase. I set it up using a simple b/w diagram.

I copy position and paste it into WORD using 'paste options'
select bitmap - you can resize it from there.
This gives you the diagrams you see in books.

If you are happy to use text based tools, Latex gives pretty diagrams from a FEN. It is probably available for windows, but don't expect the comfort of a wysiwyg word processor.

I use a TrueType font together with MS Word. With that I can easily construct a position on a bard, and print it out from there with whatever size, with or without comments.

That's my preferred method as well. I use the Chess Alpha font. I keep a document containing a blank board open and copy/paste it into my puzzle document as necessary. It's then a simple matter to overwrite the squares with the appropriate pieces.
