No easy solution, I'm afraid. Fltk uses the font support of the host OS to access and render font files, so you need to "add" your new font to the host OS, then fltk will be able to use it. However, there's no mechanism in fltk for installing fonts - mainly because all the different platforms have different ideas about how to do that. Indeed, under X, it even differs depending on whether you are using Xft or Xlib to render your fonts... You can do it, but it will need platform specific code. And some platforms are easier than others... What host OS are you on? Do you need a cross-platform solution?
