Make the controller the window's delegate (which will get it all its
delegate/responder messages. Also, when you display the font window,
make the window itself its own first responder. The controller will
then get changeFont: messages.
Or simply don't have anything in the responder chain below the window
itself that is interested in changeFont: messages; you'll note that's
how ProjectBuilder finesses the problem.

Yes but change font is not sent to the delegate unfortunately, but to
the first responder. So how do I accommodate for that. How do I make
the Preferences Controller the first responder?

The controller object for your preference window would have an outlet
for the sample text field, a reference to each NSFont you keep track
of, and some way of knowing which NSFont is the current target. The
controller is the delegate (-[NSFontManager setDelegate:]) of the
shared NSFontManager. When the controller receives changeFont:, it
passes the current font through convertFont: to get the new font, and
tells both the sample text and any affected main text to change
accordingly. There is no need to subclass NSTextField.

Ok, I'm kind of confused. All I want is a system like Project
Builder's where when I change the font in the preferences the little
text field updates and all the text in the app changes. This is the
ONLY place the font panel will be used. Do I need to subclass
nstextfield to respond to fotn manager changes? Is there a way to
make sure that only that one text field EVER listens to font manager
changes?
