I just created a class in Interface Builder, and gave it a bunch of

I generate the code files, connect the attributes to various popup

things aren't working. For some reason font, size, and color are all
nil.
Much experimentation later, and I find that if I rename the
attributes (fontList, sizeList, colorWell), they seem to work ok.
I can't understand this. The controller class just inherits from
NSObject, which doesn't contain any similarly named attributes that
might perhaps cause problems. So why doesn't an attribute named
'font' work?
Have you read these sections in the IB FAQ (check under the Help menu
in IB)?
"How are outlets connected at runtime?"
"I have an outlet named "rate" and in the same class a method named
"-setRate:". When my nib is loaded the -setRate: method is called. How
come?"
Ooooh. Never actually noticed the FAQ before - there's some
interesting stuff in there :)
Thanks for the tip
