saur321 2 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Dear Evernote community, I use Evernote for my research and often annotate images with text, arrows, lines etc. (example attached). Is there a way to change the default fonts and arrowheads in this tool to a more professional looking set of fonts? I also tried Skitch but it seems like it is the same annotation tool as the default one. Please let me know if there already is one. If not, is this something that Evernote can provide in the future updates? TIA, -Saur Link to comment

Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 3,805 Posted January 20, 2017 Level 5 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I agree, there's a primary-school look to the fonts. It is possible to choose a lighter line thickness and different colors. In the Android app (but not Windows) it is possible to turn off the outlining, I think, which helps a lot. But I still wouldn't care for it in a professional environment. Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,248 Posted January 20, 2017 Level 5* Share Posted January 20, 2017 You can remove the outline from font and change colors with Skitch. To simplify the font click on the little a above the text, example below. You can also change color and font size is changed by adjusting the line width. Straight lines without arrows though. Rudimentary, but works for quick annotation. Link to comment
saur321 2 Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 +1 @csihiling. Thanks a ton! This works. On a different note, is this the right forum to suggest changes to the EN team? I see often that many "Gurus" rephrase the question and say that "yeah, this is how it is; live with it." It will be useful to know a place where we can suggest new features etc. Link to comment

This is a discussion forum. Suggestions should be posted in the Feature Requests forum. There is still discussion, but also a process for users to add their support with voting. There are also feedback forums for each product platform Link to comment

Getting that @ to display is not easy; I have to click outside the text box, then click back inside it. But it does work. Link to comment
