Where are these release notes? My copy of
file:///Developer/Documentation/ReleaseNotes/AppKit.html
doesn't include them.

I did find a reference here:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ ApplicationKit/ObjC
_classic/Protocols/NSFontPanelValidation.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/ 20002040/B
AJEGEFE

The reference list only the constants you mention below. Sadly these are
the ones we support (picking a font, size, and face). The ones we don't
support are the ones in the Effects pane (turn it on and off with the "gear"
menu).

What is weird is that the preview pane of the FontPanel doesn't appear to
support these either. Sad.

See the AppKit release notes for NSFontPanel:
----------------------------
Font Panel now has the ability to hide elements that are not applicable
by having the target respond to a method validating the font panel
modes. The following mode masks are defined:

enum {
NSFontPanelFaceModeMask = 1 << 0,
NSFontPanelSizeModeMask = 1 << 1,
NSFontPanelCollectionModeMask = 1 << 2,
...
NSFontPanelStandardModesMask = 0xFFFF, // standard modes, including
those added in the future but expected to work by default
NSFontPanelAllModesMask = 0xFFFFFFFF // all modes, including some
added in the future but are not enabled by default
};
If the target wants anything other than the standard mode mask, it must
respond to this method.

- (unsigned int)validModesForFontPanel:(NSFontPanel *)fontPanel;
