Yes, you are right. The actual showing of the font panel occurs by calling
NSFontManager* shrdFontMgr = [NSFontManager sharedFontManager];
[shrdFontMgr orderFrontFontPanel:textView];
This shows the font panel, but does not make it active. When I click into a new
font of that font panel the changeFont: message of my text view is not called.
However, if I subsequently call
NSFontPanel* fontPanel = [NSFontPanel sharedFontPanel];
[fontPanel makeKeyWindow];
The font panel becomes key window, and clicking a new font then invokes the
changeFont: message.

I have also tried runModalSesssion before, but just using a runModalSesssion
loop instead of a call to runModalForWindow: does not change anything, the
issue remains, and I have not found any way to make the font panel more
responsive in that loop.
I am getting the impression that NSFontPanel has some basic issues when being
run with a modal window.
