Re: Best way to hook up Font Panel to floater (that isn't first responder)?

OK, then, you can use -[NSFontManager setAction:] then 8-).

It's less intuitive than using -setTarget: but should be sufficient 
for your need.

This is how:
- implement method with a signature unlikely to collide (i.e. -
mySuperPrivateChangeFont:) in an object that's always in the responder 
chain such as the app controller.
- when the Font button in your panel is activated, you set your action 
using -setAction:.
- and reset it upon the button deactivation
