System Provided Font Menu?

Subject: System Provided Font Menu?

I know that Apple provides a standard font selection panel for selecting fonts (inherited from NS), but I'm unable to find a system populated "font menu" for use in application-wide or inspector pop-up menus.

The HIG indicates that the Font Panel should be used instead of a menu, but a font menu would be useful in a grouped, multi-property inspector panel or an application menu when fonts are selected often and the Font Panel takes up too much screen space, such as a word processor. Many non-cocoa apps seem to roll their own, which can result in a very poor user experience. (MS Word, for example, doesn't even group fonts by font family)
