I like this approach the best, I don't really see it as a hack. The entire
option of whether or not NXLIB should support anti-aliased text,
(and thus the GrSetFontAttributes and other calls) could then be
handled solely within NXLIB.
Not requiring any other changes in FLTK or outside of NXLIB is
a huge advantage, and is really NXLIB's job.

Both of these require modifying FLTK source, which is a bad idea.
You may need to use XFontStruct within NXLIB, but that should be
no problem.
