Unfortunately, lyr files are not in the current roadmap. Maybe in the 
future.

Sorry, would you please explain this?

Yes, this is coming too.

There is already a symbol based in TrueType fonts. It is used for 
markers, and by extension by marker lines and marker filled polygons. I 
didn't think in the option of use it as a label background but is 
something to spend some time with for evaluate.

About the annotation, in fact, that's the goal. But I have to take care 
about the specs of such a file format because of the lots of options and 
data combinations to meet all needs. And this, naturally, consumes a lot 
of time. So, we'll need to be patient.

This feature, is part of the exporting labels to annotations. Since 
gvSIG has edit capabilities, moving labels manually should be, in fact, 
the edition of a annotation layer.
