No such thing aas 'bool' in C. Use int. Don't forget the semi colon at the
end. Don't forget to actually give this thing some memory somewhere ;-) See

It makes sense.

Perhaps define a new option recognised by fl_initialize. Eg --use-fontset.
Thereafter in flresource.c:
/* Define a new, globally accessible variable to toggle the use of
* XmbDrawString over XdrwString when using multi-byte, CJK input.
* By default, this is turned off.
*/
int use_fontsel = 0;
fl_initialize(int *na, char *arg[], const char *appclass,
XrmOptionDescList appopt, int nappopt)
{
/* Add code to test whether to use fontsel stuff. */
}
and anywhere else in the xforms code:
extern int use_fontsel;
