Hi!  If you click on the Font panel's title bar before you hit command-
w, you will see it activate -- then, when you do hit command-w, it 
*will* close.  Thus it does indeed respond to the keyboard shortcut. 
Perhaps you can work some magic with -(BOOL)canBecomeKeyWindow or -
(BOOLcanBecomeMainWindow?
