Well, I've hacked (err, I mean carefully crafted, of course) a mod into my 
fltk-118-utf8 patch to make the XFT build at least try to honour gl_font() size 
requests...

The net effect is that you *should* get the size you ask for now - you almost 
certainly will not get the face you asked for, but it's a start!

Anyway, the revised tarball is here:

Ought to work OK.... I hope!
