Probably best to put it in main(). The app delegate is typically instantiated in the MainMenu NIB (or storyboard, I guess). Therefore, there's no possibility that any method will be invoked on it until that NIB is loaded. If the NIB contains a placeholder for the shared font manager or anything which uses it (like the Font menu), then you can't get in front of it reliably in methods of the app delegate. So, you have to make the call before the NIB is loaded. main() is the easiest place for that. If that doesn't work, you may need to use a custom subclass of NSApplication and put it in an override of -run, before calling through to super.
