You can't have two selections in the same window. This is a general
UI rule. It's pretty common to have different selections in different
windows, though, although this s not possible in MetaCard unless you
script it because it inherited "the selection" as a global concept
from HyperCard.
Use some other type of control (like a popup or pulldown menu), or
open a separate font dialog (save the selection first, then restore it
when the dialog closes).
