I’m finding I constantly have to re-open the Fonts box when it comes to labelling my drawings. I feel it should just be a lockable palette like all the others (using SU 26 on OSX Tahoe).

well, bad news, you can’t, because it’s mac os’s palette. so it won’t cooperate with the rest. it’s like the material panel in sketchup. even worse, when apple decides to change stuff in the palette, well it kinda breaks it for us.
good news it, you don’t have to close it, you can keep it in a corner somewhere, even move it partially outside your screen.
other good news is, sketchup is moving to abandon cocoa (current UI tool) for QT (the one on PC). so we will end up having the same UI as on pc.
when ?
probably on a tuesday. can’t tell you which one though

Yup it’s a pain.
I have 8-10 samples of text just off the pasteboard that I can sample and apply to whatever I’m working on. It’s built into my templates. I only have to deal with the text pallet on a limited basis.

In an active project I use the On Every Page layer and add text outside the page for easy access from any page.

That is how I started but I did not like having to change layers - now my notes are already assigned the notes layer, dimensions the dimensions layer, etc.
