Even better! Thanks! I just did a 'grep 14' in src/ and made the change. I guess I should have checked. Another thing to note is that the messages boxes (fl_ask(), fl_mesage(), etc.) use a separate variable 'fl_message_size' declared at fl_ask.cxx:57. AFAICT, this is also global but would need to be set along with FL_NORMAL_SIZE. The only benefit of patching the FLTK source is that fluid would use the desired font size (12 in my case) as well. -- Alvin _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
