NSFontManager Initialization

I am using NSFontManager and NSFontPanel to (eventually) extract a glyph
as a draw object.  The following code fails unless the font panel has
previously been used in a text field.

    NSFontManager* fmgr = [NSFontManager sharedFontManager];
    NSFont* theFont = [fmgr selectedFont];

    After I select the font and size in the panel, "theFont" will always
return nil.  If I first use the panel with a text view, it will work
properly.  Also, a few times, I couldn't set the size in the panel's size
field.  Bug report time? Or is there something else I could do to get it
properly initialized?
