[Qgis-developer] annotation tools

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi John

What do you mean with 'any font changes are not sticking on OS X' ? Is it that 
you select a font and it does not appear in the item?

Is there a place in QGIS where the native Mac font dialog already appears? 
Because I'm not sure from the docs if QFontDialog::getFont really uses the 
native dialog.

Right, this if fixed now.

Hm, true. And it also happens in the form widgets. This is difficult, I remember 
that I used pixel sized fonts in the mapcomposer to avoid this problem with 
the labels. But with the form items, it is not possible because the Qt widget 
handles the font scaling.

Marco
