The fonts offered are loaded from Metafont `gf' files located in /pci/etc, or (on X/Motif systems) from the X Server. It is theoretically possible for the user to add Metafont `gf' files to the /pci/etc/fonts.lst file if they obtain additional gf fonts from other sources.
On X/Motif systems it is possible to select one additional font by its name in a user's X initialization file (i.e. .Xdefaults). The resource to be set is `annotationFont'. If the following line is placed in the X initialization (i.e. .Xdefaults) file, the named system font (in this case *screen-bold*-14-*) should appear on the list of fonts available within the Graphic Editing panel of ImageWorks:
*annotationFont: *screen-bold*-14-*When the Annotate operation is active, and keyboard focus is in the main image window of ImageWorks, all keystrokes will be added to a string placed at the current cursor position. Either the backspace, or the delete key should delete the last character from the string.
Dragging the image cursor with the left mouse button should result in the string being dragged as well. Dragging with the right mouse button will rotate and scale the text, pivoting around a point half way along the text string.
The string is actually burned into, or out of, the graphic plane when the <Enter> key is hit, or annotation mode is exited. Hitting enter will also result in the image cursor moving down by the height of a line of text. This is to allow for the convenient entering of multiple lines of text.
