[Qgis-developer] annotation tools

[John C. Tull]

Hi Marco,

This is looking like a nice start. I would like to see the font settings changed to a standard font dialog, preferably allowing the native mac dialog on OS X systems using Qt-cocoa. Currently, any font changes are not sticking on OS X.

The annotations worked on both the map and composer canvasses. I noticed if an annotation is selected in the canvas, the resize widgets are printed from the composer. Also, font sizes are incorrect when exporting to svg on my system. PDF export looked good.

Cheers,
John
