I have an NSTextView and a user who wishes to be able to enter information

and the user starts typing, the font reverts back to a roman font.
Has anybody solved this problem?
Others have described why this is... In 10.1.x, the Symbol keyboard is one option to enter symbol characters. The Unicode hex input is another (for those of you with a Unicode chart handy 8-) ). Both are pretty obscure of course.
Mike Ferris's TextExtras bundle (from www.lorax.com) has a character palette; he showed this at the WWDC BOF; that is a good alternative for Cocoa apps.
Apple is also looking at ways to make Symbol and other Dingbat entry a lot more straightforward in Jaguar.
