Hi Greg,
I am still struggeling with fonts and FLTK 1.3.0. There is still no text
displayed on the screen.
Now I put some additional DPRINTF's into fontlist.c and got this result:
nxTranslateEventMask no handler for event mask (0022c07f): 14
findfont_nowild: requested font: fixed height: (5)
findfont_nowild: searching in font directory: fonts

Do you know where the fixed-5 font shall be found and why it is not found? I
would expect that this is one of the compiled-in system files.
The truetype directory I downloaded from your site did have an empty
fonts.dir file and no font.alias file.
So I copied the truetype directory from cygwin which has a populated
fonts.dir (but no fonts.alias) file into /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont
and /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType but that did not help,
still no text on the screen.
Do I need to compile in PCF fonts to get the fixed font? I get text in the
window title decoration though already, but that is done by NXLIB.
You recommended this in your last post:

How shall I do this? I am not familiar with this. As I wrote above, I
currently need fixed-5 though.
