Hi Greg, setting the font before calling fl_measure() didn't have the desired result. But I found a workaround: before adding the topmost Fl_Output I add a dummy Fl_Output with width = 0 and height = 0. And now the topmost widget is measured correctly. So my application works properly - but it would be interesting to know why...
