We have JOY!
Using fltk-config --use-images --use-forms --ldstaticflags
to get the proper linker options and adding them to my linker control file,
I now have a successful build and correct font displays!

Great, I'm glad that we could help. Thanks for the confirmation.

I don't understand why this changed, i.e. why the additional options were necessary
after installing the support packages, when I had a successful build before.

That's because your previous build did not include some libraries since configure didn't find the headers and/or libs on your system. In the old days (FLTK 1.1.x) FLTK worked entirely w/o Xft and had only - much simplified - fixed size raster fonts. Xft enabled the usage of scalable fonts and more. After you added the required header files (-dev packages) to your system FLTK found these and linked with some more libraries, for instance fontconfig. That's why your project required these libs as well.

Anyway, it is running now and I am OVERJOYED!

Thank you all for all your help and patience in helping me to get this running again.

You're welcome.

You all are awesome...

What I found useful was to add

`fltk-config --use-images --ldstaticflags`

as part of my build command using an archaic makefile flow.


Yup, that's AFAICT the main motivation to create fltk-config in the first place.
