Yes - sort of. In times past, when characters were only one byte each... What happened was that the "ASCII" codes from 128 to 255 were mapped into "code-pages" on a fairly random basis, each country (and sometimes each computer maker) assigning glyphs to numbers in their own unique way. So... You need to make sure that Linux is set to a code-page / locale that supports the glyphs you want, you need to ensure that fltk has loaded a font that actually has those glyphs, and you need to make sure that the numbers fltk is assigning to those glyphs matches what the current locale expects. It is a mess. And bear in mind that you can not really control those three things once your app is "out in the wild", so that if you run your app on someone else's PC, the results may well be quite different. Switching to fltk-1.3 and UTF8 strings means that these glyphs have defined, unique code points that should work everywhere. It is much better.
