[STR New] Link: http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L1130 Version: 2.0-feature I'd opened STR#1029 a few months before recommending functions be added to make this clearer, so these two STRs are related. There is a way to set the default font, it's just non-intuitive: http://fltk.org/newsgroups.php?s6582+gfltk.general+v6588+T You're right it should be more boldly advertised, which is why I'm leaving this open. At very least, the functions that get the font face/size should reference the way to change defaults with a "See Also". Possibly a FAQ should be added as well. Regarding a file like ~/.fltk/defaults: This is a direction I personally know Bill (Spitzak) did NOT want to go. IIRC, Bill did not like the problems that files like ~/.Xdefaults (the X windows equiv) caused, citing among other things how such a file can affect ALL fltk apps, and can cause app-specific problems that are very hard to debug, as users often won't report such customizations, having long forgot they were there when reporting bugs. I agree with this, and would strongly lobby against it. Design-wise, FLTK likes to handle changing such things via the command line (eg. Fl_Window::show(argc,argv)), so that might be a way to supply this. However, changing the default font size via the command line would surely break most apps, since FLTK doesn't reoriented widget layouts when font sizes are changed.
