Typing attributes for a rich NSField

NSTextView has the setTypingAttributes: method which allows you to
establish the attributes for text to be entered into the view before
the user starts typing.

NSTextField has been given the ability to edit rich text within the
field, is there an equivalent functionality to setTypingAttributes? 
I've looked in NSTextField and NSControl and such to no avail.  I
suspect this is a "hard" problem because the field editor gets
involved.
