When something changes in the font panel, the font manager calls
changeFont:.  Your changeFont: method then takes whatever existing
font(s) you have, calls convertFont:myExistingFont on the font manager
for each one of those, and replaces myExistingFont in your document with
the result of that call.  The idea is that convertFont: applies the
change the user specified in the font panel to the font you supply to it.
