That's a great idea (if I understand you correctly). We
could have a method, something like Fltk::default_fontsize,
which would return the default, or allow you to set a new
default. All widgets that got created could automatically
invoke fontsize with this value.

I think we would have to implement this in C++, and not in
the Ruby layer. We could easily add it to our contructor
body, since we only have a couple of them. And the Fltk
initialize could either pick a default default, or create a
raw Fltk widget, ask for the fontsize, and then destroy the
widget.

At some point, we could also add features to set default
colors and other options this way. Of course, with Fltk2,
themes should solve all of this, so we don't want to do too
much with it right now.

What do you think?

P.S. to Kent: Thanks for the code contribution! One of our
goals was that it be quick and easy to enhance and modify.
