Fltk measures fonts in pixels rather than point sizes - and IIRC it  
attempts to honour the dpi reported by the display when working the  
font pixel scaling out - so if your Xserver is reporting an  
inappropriate dpi value, that might throw things off, e.g. if it  
reports 300dpi when it should be reporting 75dpi, or etc...

Or I could be talking nonsense, or thinking of the OSX port, or  
something else entirely!
