I think that text annotations are just text without a font, and the PDF viewer decides how to display them. I am looking at "PDF 32000-1:2008", section 12.5.6.4 Text Annotations, page 394 https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf Specifying fonts in resources in annotations might not be valid. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24205137/adding-freetext-annotation-to-pdf Do the annotations view correctly with Acrobat? I think that evince and okular both read PDFs with poppler. Can you post a small PDF with an annotation that does not view correctly? Regards, William
