You did not say which version of fltk you were using. That can make a difference, as the font code has changed around at various points... I don't know FreeBSD well, (the only *BSD machine I own is this Mac running OSX, which obviously has a different WM and font system from the other BSD's...) so what follows is based on my work with linux and other *nixes. Does the BSD machine use XFT to load fonts? If so, it's almost certainly the TTF rather than PCF you want. Anyway: if you run the font demo program from the test directory, can you see the font listed there? What name is it listed with? If you are using fltk-2, try again with the fonts test program form the fltk-1.1.8 snapshots (the font code is slightly different than the fltk-2 tree, and may work differently for you. If that is the case, tell us what you find!) I'd guess that the problem is that the font system is failing to find a match for the font name you are passing in your code - but that's just a guess. Making the name match what the underlying font system has should get things working... -- Ian _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
