Perhaps I was unclear.  The usual abstract names ("serif", etc.) work
great for Xft calls; however, in certain contexts, FLTK needs to be able
to obtain a core X font corresponding to the current Xft font.  That's
where the mapping comes in, as a typical system has core fonts matching
-*-times-* but not -*-serif-*.  As such, could you please reconsider it?

Thanks!
