[fltk/fltk] Not possible to raise font size (Issue #371) "Pierre Ossman (Work account)" Jan 14, 2022  
 

Modern standard font size is around 11pt/13px, which is noticably larger than what FLTK is designed for. This makes FLTK applications look out of place, and is also causing problems with usability as modern text rendering is also designed with larger text in mind.

You can easily increase the font sizes in FLTK, and the sizes of widgets is under application control. Unfortunately there are a bunch of other hard coded sizes that the application cannot touch. One example is the distance between check marks and the text. Such things should scale with the text size and/or widget size.

Tested with 1.3, but I can see the same hard coded numbers in 1.4 so I assume the issue is still present.
