You get the first 255 fonts that FLTK1 finds. This is a historic limitation that will be fixed in FLTK 1.3. You can however select a font directly (by name). > When I run it on FreeBSD I see only the fonts listed in the > Enummeration.H file. You have to enable Xft when compiling FKTK to get all fonts.

FLTK1 is at 1.1.8rc2, meaning it will be final within a week. > Should I force 1.1.7 to recognize the crucial font on *nix? Or > should I stake my project on FLtk2? No need to force anything. The API to load and set fonts is in FLTK: <http://www.fltk.org/documentation.php/doc-1.1/Fl.html#Fl.set_font> Just give it the X font name as an argument.
