I know how to control the font size in a table -- the hard way -- by 
subclassing NSTableColumn and overriding -dataCellForRow.  Hoping for an easy 
way, I noticed that NSTableView has a 'fontSize' binding...

fontSize.  An integer value that determines the size, in points, of the font 
used to display the NSTableView.  If fontSize is bound, the font binding is 
disabled.

Whoopee!  So, in Interface Builder, I leave 'font' unbound, and bind thus:

fontSize
  Bind to: Shared User Defaults Controller
  Controller Key: values
  Model Key Path: myFontSize

myFontSize is a key in my user defaults.

Result: It just doesn't work.  Silently ignores the value in user defaults, 
both upon awaking and when it is changed.

This was reported also by Chris Miner two years ago:

I understand that NSUserDefaults bindings do not issue an error if Model Key 
Path does not exist.  But I checked the spelling three times.

Has anyone ever seen this binding work?
