Good question!

I've got an awfull snippet for raising the interactive menu:

(((StringHolder new contents: '0,02' , (String with: Character euro))
	openLabel: 'Euro') findDeeplyA: TextMorphForEditView) selectAll
editor changeTextFont

And another one to change the font directly:

(((StringHolder new contents: '0,02' , (String with: Character euro))
	openLabel: 'Euro') findDeeplyA: TextMorphForEditView) fontName:
'Arial' pointSize: 12

Very fragile (highly dependent on implementation).
But maybe Morphic experts will come with simpler code :)
