I'm rewriting an existing Carbon application with Cocoa, and am working
on the preferences. One preference that the user should be able to set
is a default font and size for text display. In the Carbon app, there is
a pop-up button with a font menu, and a combo box for the size. This
doesn't seem to be the way to do it in Cocoa, as getting a font menu
pop-up is not a standard thing as it was in Carbon.
So, what is the preferred way to present such a preference option? Xcode
itself seems to have a text field which is selectable but not editable
containing the font name and size, with a non-standard button on the
right end of, and within, the text field to bring up the font panel. Is
that a good option? If so, should I try to imitate the non-standard
button, or do it differently using standard controls? Or what other
options are there for this?
Thanks for any suggestions,
John
