Hi Steve
Thanks for your answer & advice. A bug indeed. I've tried the resize
and back approach within my views' becomeFirstResponder methods and it
didn't work. Ditto for resizing and back the font panel's contentView.
Now, I am about to try removing the font panel's subviews
programmatically (again within my views' becomeFirstResponder).
Why would Apple give us this protocol (and its one method!) without
testing it is beyond me. What a bunch of slackers... :)
Will let you know if and when I crack this nut.
Thanks
Alex

Hi Alexandre,
I wish I could give you a solution to this problem, since I'm seeing a
similar problem in my own app. In my case I return the valid modes as
NSFontPanelFaceModeMask with NSFontPanelCollectionModeMask in my font
panel delegate and never change how I wish the font panel to be
displayed. The font panel that appears sure enough doesn't have the
font size selector (as desired) but there's just a blank gap where the
size selector should be. If you resize the font panel then the lists
expand to fill the panel, giving the appearance you would normally
expect.
Having read your message this would seem to be the same problem that
you're experiencing.
This seems to me to be a bug since the panel should fully update its
display according to the valid modes.
Now I haven't bothered to try to solve this problem, since my app
still functions properly. However it strikes me that you could force
the panel to update itself when the validModesForFontPanel gets
called. Since from my observation resizing seems to fix the display
maybe sending a pair of resize messages to increase the size of the
panel and then set it back to what it was before would work? (See
NSWindow's frame and setFrame calls.)
If you try this out please let me know how you get along.
Cheers,
Steve

No answers from anyone but I just can't believe that I would be the
first to have used validModesForFontPanel: so I'll try again under a
different subject line.

Available modes are updated accordingly, but subview autoresizing
within the font panel seems faulty, because switching from #1 to #2
(partial modes to all modes) shows the typeface subview overlapping
with the reintroduced size subview.
