Thanks Daniel for your inputs,
The beauty of the solution #2 (stroked text) is that the result is visually
exactly the same than the annotation layer in ArcInfo (size, font, position,
orientation, etc...). To obtain the same result with the labeling options
would require a lot of
Martin,
Only some benchmarks could tell us for sure, but I don't imagine that
option 1 would be that much slower than option 2, if it's slower at all.
Once the text has been stroked in option 2, you cannot change its style
or size any more. OTOH, with #1 you keep all that flexibility.

Hi all,
I see 2 ways for doing that:
1) store the centroid (as a point geometry), rotation, text and maybe the
size of the annotation in my postgis table
2) using FME transformer (TextStroker), I can convert the annotation as a
multi-polygone or polyline directly. Playing with the font and some
