The HIG indicates that the Font Panel should be used instead of a menu,

Yes.

but a font menu would be useful in a grouped, multi-property inspector panel or an application menu

No.

Font menus were useful when people had about a dozen fonts installed. Today we have hundreds of fonts on our machines and displaying all of them in a single popup menu is just insane.

Please use the font panel.
