	Hold the press ... I just discovered that it DOES work.

	Follow these steps:

	* Launch Edit
	* Order front the Font Panel (Command-t)
	* Click on the title bar to make panel key
	* Select a Font and Typeface (say Courier-Bold12)
	* Click on Preview and click on the preview Text object
	* Shift-click on the Typeface already selected (i.e., Bold)
	* Now use the arrow keys to traverse the fonts.

	It's not perfect (i.e., you can only move around the Family column in
the Browser since it doesn't move "right" to select a typeface), but it
performs the trick.  For a greater effect, shift-click the Preview button
so that it's always highlighted.
