I'm trying to use the Font Panel/Font Manager to change the font in my
application. I've added the following  method in my View subclass to change 
the font:

  - changeFont:sender // sender is the Font Manager
  {
    [sender convertFont:font]; // font is my Font object
    [self display]; // redisplay my view with the new font
    return self;
  }

I added the font menu to my application in Interface Builder. Supposedly,
when the font is changed in the font panel, the changeFont: message is
sent down the responder chain, and my view should pick it up. What am I
forgetting here? Is there something I have to do to add the view to the
responder chain?

I would appreciate any help on this. Thanks in advance.
