Actually, changing the fonts is going to be the least of your worries.
Catching the font panel's messages about changes is going to be the real
problem. It's set up to only send messages about font changes on to the
first responder of the frontmost window - if that doesn't respond, then the
change is discarded.
There is a way to redirect the font panel so that a window's controller can
catch its messages and forward them to the appropriate object. It took me
forever to find the code, though, so if you decide to do this, have me send
you the code. I don't have the project on this computer, though, or I'd
include it with this message.
Cheers,
