I've been using Linux a lot lately and it's been REALLY annoying that annatar wasn't able to handle the particular kinds of challenges presented by the Linux environment. Specifically, most distributions do not include impact.ttf, which is annatar's default font for printing captions. Attempting to generate an image would result in a) a rather stupid error message and b) an annoying search for an appropriate font followed by c) rerunning the command with a custom font applied.

Luckily, you can now avoid all that! All you need to do (for now, until I decide which font to set as the default for Linux, presumably) is set a font using an environment variable. For example:

export ANNATAR_DEFAULT_FONT=D050000L

Note: the above setting is not recommended.
