Thanks to all for posting responses. I was looking for a way to set a
default type so subviews and dynamically created elements would just
pick up the font choice. That way I didn't have to set it for each
individual element. But I can do the same thing with a default or a
helper object to setup the defaults.
Thanks again!

So if I wanted to change the font size of a label I would have to
do programatically, or write my own sub class? There is no way in
IB to set the label to something like bold?
I haven't been reading this thread, but you can change the font of
any control with the font panel in Interface Builder.
To make a label bold, add one to a document, select it, bring up the
font panel, and change the font.

I will check out the control size, that might help me out for what
I am thinking.
Thanks for all your help!!

How do I change the font that is used for all NSLabels,
NSTextFields, etc..? Basically I want to make the default font
smaller for all text within my application, not the menu bar or
anything outside my application, just my views, and windows.. Is
this done through skinning or is this a global property that can
be set?
There is no global switch to get what you're asking for, and
typically that's not what you want either (you might want to have
*most* of your controls in one particular size, but very rarely
all of them). You, the programmer or interface designer, will have
to manually make sure that all controls in your interface is using
the font size you want.
You might want to look at the documentation for NSControlSize.
This is a way to easily make controls appear at one of a
predefined set of sizes. You can set this property from Interface
Builder or in code. If you set it from code, you might also have
to set the font size separately (I don't remember, and don't
think, that it's updated automatically for you).
