Hi,

I have a control that needs to be highlighted when the font panel is visible. 
This turns out not to be an easy task. I can't find any notifications that will 
be triggered whenever the font panel is shown or is hidden.

windowDidUpdate: might do for discovering that the window is or has become 
visible, but it's a bit hawkish to use for this purpose.
windowWillClose: only notifies if the panel gets closed, not if it is ordered 
out.

I tried subclassing NSFontPanel by doing the following:

- (void)applicationWillFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
        [NSFontManager setFontPanelFactory:[MY_FontPanel class]];
}

but it doesn't appear to work. The font panel returned by [NSFontPanel 
sharedFontPanel] continues to be NSFontPanel, not MY_FontPanel.

What I want to do is override orderFront: and orderOut: in my subclass so that 
I can send out some notifications whenever one of these is called.

Why does my call to setFontPanelFactory: not work, and how can I best achieve 
my stated goal?

Kind Regards,
António Nunes
