# updateFontPanel()

Updates the Font panel to contain the font attributes of the selection.

## Declaration

```swift
func updateFontPanel()
```

## Discussion

Discussion Does nothing if the receiver doesn’t use the Font panel. You should never need to invoke this method directly, but you can override it if needed to handle additional font attributes.
