Ten days ago, a new version of FLTK was released - version 1.3.0: http://fltk.org/articles.php?L1086
I downloaded that and got it to run. However, there is no text displayed in the demos. I got the following messages to STDERR: XSetLocaleModifiers called XSetErrorHandler called nxlib: display bpp 16, bits_per_rgb 6 XOpenIM called XOpenIM() failed XGetDefault Text background XGetDefault fltk foreground XGetDefault fltk background XGetDefault Text selectBackground XGetDefault fltk dndTextOps XGetDefault fltk tooltips XGetDefault fltk visibleFocus XGetDefault fltk scheme nxTranslateEventMask no handler for event mask (0022c07f): 14 findfont_nowild: fail With the old versions the system font was used. The code is: Fl_Box *box = new Fl_Box(20,40,300,100,"Hello, World!"); box->box(FL_UP_BOX); box->labelfont(FL_BOLD+FL_ITALIC); box->labelsize(36); box->labeltype(FL_SHADOW_LABEL); window->end(); That resulted in the following messages: XSetErrorHandler called nxlib: display bpp 16, bits_per_rgb 6 XGetDefault Text background XGetDefault fltk foreground XGetDefault fltk background XGetDefault Text selectBackground XGetDefault fltk dndTextOps XGetDefault fltk tooltips XGetDefault fltk visibleFocus XGetDefault fltk scheme nxTranslateEventMask no handler for event mask (0022c07f): 14 findfont: START fixed 0,0 findfont_nowild: fail findfont: FINI nowild fixed = (null) height 32 findfont: START 6x13 0,0 findfont_nowild: fail findfont: FINI nowild 6x13 = (null) height 32 XLoadFont('fixed') = '(null)' height 32 [0] So I did not get a 36 font but the fixed font. Do you have any suggestions how to get a font to work? Regards Georg
