Actually, while NSTableCellView won’t bind to *most* things outside of the table view, there is an exception for the table’s delegate. So, if you set the table’s delegate to File’s Owner, and then bind the NSTableCellView’s ‘font’ binding to File’s Owner, it should work.* *But only in a XIB file. In a storyboard, the XIB compiler will get stuck in an infinite loop which will continue even after you click the “Stop” button, grabbing more and more RAM surreptitiously in the background until your Mac runs out of swap space and you’re forced to do a hard reboot.
