From IB you can do it easily by selecting the button title and selecting
the font attributes from font panel.

If want to do programmatically NSAttributedString may help u.
I think I was a bit unclear :).

What I want to do is to let a NSButton wotk the same way as for example
the "Bold"-menu item that is "provided for free" with the Format-menu,
or the Font-menu.

I want to have a button on a form, hook it up to the shared font manager
and send it addFontTraits actions, having it selected and deselected
depending on the current selection.

Hooking up a button to send underline to the first responder is esy, and
works as expected (minus updating the selected status), but doing the
same with bold, italic, increase/decrease font size, have proved to be a
harder task.

I attach a very small image of the edit tools, as an image says more
than 1000 words. What I want is for all the buttons in this image to
behave as expected.

Subject: Changing fonts without font menu?

Having a NSFontManager and handling font changes from a standard font menu is easy. But is there a way to hook up buttons to make text bold/unbold?

I can not get sending addFontTrait actions to work, and the documentation I have found only speaks of hooking up menus manually, not

other controls.
