I installed the packages above as mentioned. One note according to Ubuntu support: libglut3-dev has been replaced. This package has been replaced by ``freeglut3-dev''. Could this be affecting the fonts? Anyway, everything installed except libglut3-dev, so I installed freeglut3-dev. I then reconfigured the fltk and rebuilt. Here is what I did: tar -xvzf fltk-1.3.2-source.tar.gz cd fltk-1.3.2 ./configure make #make install Does the build require flags before running the configure script? So fltk runs and I can compile the programs but unfortunately it still does not change the labelsize or labelfont. Do I need to include extra libraries in the compiler statement? Here is how I am compiling: g++ -Wall hellofltk.cxx -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -o hellofltk -lfltk lXext -lX11 -lm Thanks. Please save me from the bloat of Qt or GTK! edgar _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list fltk@easysw.com http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
