At present, libfltk_images always explicitly links against zlib for the sake of static (or incompletely linked dynamic) builds of libpng, even though it doesn't directly use anything from zlib. OTOH, --with-xft builds end up calling functions from libfontconfig (albeit via Xft macros), but rely on libXft to pull it in. The Debian build arranges to harmonize all such matters; however, they aren't a big deal in practice, and the details of what's needed may vary somewhat from system to system, so it may be best to keep those changes out. >> - A setup that changes fl_xfont into an (API- and ABI-compatible) smart [...] > > I don't know if we would want to do this for 1.1, but I'm sure that > this would be useful for 1.3 Fair enough; I'll file an STR with patch shortly and let FLTK's developers decide. >> - Logic in Fl_Choice to allow custom background colors in the default [...] > > If it's simple, I'd like to do this in 1.1 as well, but that > depends. Is this ABI compatible? Yes, it's just a change to Fl_Choice.cxx to honor color() in more circumstances, and I've generally been careful to preserve the ABI. >> - A safeguard in fl_draw that defaults the font to (FL_HELVETICA, 14) if >> it hasn't been set yet. > > Yes, I would like this for 1.1 as well.
