As Ian said, you must compile with Xft support to get vector based fonts under Linux. But there may be another issue that font sizes are somewhere stored or handled as 8 bit only, limiting fonts to a maximum height of 255 pixels. This limitation is unfortunatley typical for FLTK 1.1 and should not exist in 2.0 - but I have not tested that.
