This is a bug that has already been fixed internally.  NSFontPboardType
was not being added to the readablePasteboardTypes for non-rich-text
textviews, even if they used the font panel.  You should be able to
work around this by overriding readablePasteboardTypes and appending
NSFontPboardType to the result if it is not present, for appropriate
textviews (generally those for which usesFontPanel is YES).
