It is RISC OS (pronounced risk oh ess, not risk oss)
[ArcDraw] can also add text in multiple sizes and fonts to a drawing (including anti-aliased fonts)
Admittedly it wasn't until RISC OS Select was released, almost 10 years later, that the standard Acorn applications (Draw, Edit, and Paint) implemented the style guide's clipboard recommendations, but most products followed it with care.

All IYONIX pcs ship with RISC OS 5 in flash ROM.
Many of the UI concepts that we take for granted were first pioneered in RISC OS, for instance: scalable anti-aliased fonts and an operating system extendable by 'modules', while most of the PC world was still on Windows 3.0.
[...] it was RISC OS that had the first system-wide, intricate [...] font rendering in operating systems.

[The port includes] a modified version of the RISC OS kernel containing support for (all) Cortex-A8 CPU cores.
Only with Mac OS X did any mainstream graphical interface provide the smoothly rendered, fractionally spaced type that Acorn accomplished in 1992 or earlier.

A snap of an RISC OS 5, running on a BeagleBoard device powered by a 600MHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor with a built-in graphics chip, has tipped up on the world wide wibble. The port developed by Jeffrey Lee is a breakthrough for the shared-source project because it has ported the OS without an army of engineers.
