I would expect it to have no effect and preferably be greyed out. The font panel "floats." The user can simply leave it open the whole time if they like. It just may not have any effect on what they currently have selected.

If you are in a text view and you press cmd-t and the Font Panel pops up, what do you expect it to do when you change the font?

I'm not sure you'd want to. If you think about it, the user could bring the Font panel up from a text field that does allow it and then just move to editing this other text view. So logically, there is no point in disabling the menu at any time.

Is there any way to disable the "Show Fonts..." menu item for a particular text view? The menu item is hooked up to the shared NSFontManager instance so I cannot override validateMenuItem:. So even though I have setUsesFontPanel: NO for my text view my users don't use that and pressing cmd-t shows a font panel that does not work. As a matter of fact, you will notice that you can pop up the font panel at any time in any Cocoa that has this menu item, even though in many cases it does nothing.

Is there any way to disable this menu item short of hooking it up to First Responder and dealing with it on a case by case basis?
