The Preference app undoubtedly sets itself to be the window's delegate. Now, maybe I could forward delegate functions to the app, but if any other preference pane uses the same trick, stuff will break.

What the pref-pane framework needs to do is forward app and window delegate messages to the active preference pane. Really, the pref-pane framework needs revamping.

Eventually, I'll log a bug against it.

it appears that you're trying to make the GeekToolPrefs (which I'm
assuming is your custom class) the first responder, but it doesn't
inherit from NSResponder, so that's a problem.

I think you're right, but how do I make something that could no be first responder get NSFontManager's changeFont: calls ?

Well, I'm writing a preference pane. To solve this sort of problem, I make a custom subclass of NSResponder and insert it into the appropriate place in the responder chain -- in my case, that place is above my pane view.

I'm running in to a problem, though, which you might run in to also. The field editor is a sub-view of the window, not of my view, so my NSResponder won't intercept actions that filter up from the field editor. I'm not quite sure how to fix this problem; I can't supply my own field editor, since preference panes can't override the window's methods.
