This doesn't seem to be the way to do it in Cocoa, as getting a font menu pop-up is not a standard thing as it was in Carbon.

IMHO your best option is to use 1 or 2 selectable, non-editable text fields to display the font name and size, and a standard button to bring up a font panel for choosing the font and size. The Xcode button-within-a-text-field thing is just goofy to me.
