I looked at the tutorial, and I am still having problems because the
tutorial used a Combobox

How do I populate a popdown menu with fonts?

What's a "popdown" menu? :)

The font menu is still a BevelButton as it was in RB 3.0 and later
for Mac. There is no combo box involved.

I haven't checked Win32 yet.

The tutorial gives you the code.

On the other hand, are you thinking of a MenuBar menu selection?
That's a whole different matter and was last used in the 2.x
Tutorial. It's a bit of a shame as the Tutorial no longer covers that
method but it is a valid option.

That couldn't be, because you asked about it last April <http://
support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/gettingstarted/2006-04/
msg00259.html> and people explained it to you then; I even wrote and
made available an example project showing how to populate a popup
menu with font names. So, no, you surely meant something else.
