Font annotation are also used to calculate the distance between
notehead and articulation.

haven't discovered a workaround yet short of messing with the font
itself.
On a side note...To clear up any misconceptions about font annotation
files, this is what they are, and how they are used in Finale:
Font annotation files provide the true dimmensions of a character in a
given font. The reported height of a character in a given font is
dictated by the tallest character in that font. For text fonts, that's
not a huge deal, since the tallest character in the font is not all
that
far from the shortest alpha-numeric character in the font. In a music
font, the variation in the size of characters is far greater (in fact
the tallest character in Maestro is the Treble Octava [sp?] clef, all
the way down to a staccato dot--quite a difference!), which you will
notice in an application like Microsoft Word, when you use a Maestro
Font music character alongside a regular text font.
Font Annotation files are used (last I checked) to calculate selection
rectangles in the Selection tool, the curvature of Engraver Slurs,
and I
think they may be used in some tuplet bracket calculations as well.
Hope this helps a bit.
