When I do

```julia
fig = Figure()
at = Axis(fig[1,1],yscale=log10,xscale=log10)
lines!(at,1..10,exp)
annotations!(at,["testing"],[Point2f0(2,100)])
fig

```

the annotation doesn’t show up:

What am I doing wrong? (seems to work on normal scale)

that’s GLMakie right? That’s just an omission because for text the scaling isn’t applied there correctly, yet, as the positions are in an attribute, and not as for all other plots, in the positional args. I’ll fix that soon

Awesome. Is there a backend I can use where it works?

As a sidenote, I’d rather tag posts with `Makie` to be more visible.

And yes in CairoMakie it should work.
