Are you aware that you can use images as labels? When I need a label that can't 
be done with FLTK font, I prepare it in Photoshop, save it as a .gif, then 
assign it to a button as an image. That way you can take advantage of all the 
font options has Photoshop available.  I made an example for you at 
http://www.mfwweb.com/OpenGL/Image_Labels.jpg  The button in the lower left 
corner labeled 'Sensors' is done this way.
