Gordon,

-[NSFontManager selectedFont] is used mainly for getting the font set via -[NSFontManager setSelectedFont:isMultiple:] method.

Typically, you query the user font selection via -convertFont: method.

See the following tech doc section.
Font Panel: Using the Font Panel

I am using NSFontManager and NSFontPanel to (eventually) extract a glyph
as a draw object.  The following code fails unless the font panel has
previously been used in a text field.

   NSFontManager* fmgr = [NSFontManager sharedFontManager];
   NSFont* theFont = [fmgr selectedFont];

After I select the font and size in the panel, "theFont" will always
return nil.  If I first use the panel with a text view, it will work
properly. Also, a few times, I couldn't set the size in the panel's size field. Bug report time? Or is there something else I could do to get it
properly initialized?
