The reason for this is that fl_set_browser_fontstyle() sets the base
font style for the browser contents. Any modifiers are calculated
relative to that font style and looked up in an internal font table.
Since you declared the font 30, the browser will look for font numbers
30, 31, 32, and 33, corresponding to FL_NORMAL_STYLE, FL_BOLD_STYLE,
FL_ITALIC_STYLE, and FL_BOLDITALIC_STYLE.
If you use your own fonts, you should fill the font list as follows (I
used "new century schoolbook" since I didn't find "arial" in my
system):
#define FONT \
"-adobe-new century schoolbook-medium-r-normal--*-160-75-75-*-*-*-*"
#define BOLD \
"-adobe-new century schoolbook-bold-r-normal--*-160-75-75-*-*-*-*"
#define ITALIC \
"-adobe-new century schoolbook-medium-i-normal--*-160-75-75-*-*-*-*"
#define BOLDITALIC \
"-adobe-new century schoolbook-bold-i-normal--*-160-75-75-*-*-*-*"
[...]
fl_set_font_name( 30, FONT );
fl_set_font_name( 30 + FL_BOLD_STYLE, BOLD );
fl_set_font_name( 30 + FL_ITALIC_STYLE, ITALIC );
fl_set_font_name( 30 + FL_BOLDITALIC_STYLE, BOLDITALIC );
fl_set_browser_fontstyle(fd_try->browser, 30);
[...]
