cocoa bindings and strings shown in 2 different lines of the same table column and row delay in displaying

Hi,

i have an NSTableView where i have 2 strings shown in 2 different lines of
the same table column and row. i have to put different fonts to these two
stings.
In order to do this, i am using NSMutableAttributedString.

string1 is the object of type NSMutableAttributedString.
i am now using,

[string1 addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:systemFont
range:NSMakeRange(0,[normalText length])];
This adds the required font to string1.

Similarly, i have another string NSMutableAttributedString  string2 to which
i am assigning a different font.

i now append a '\r' character and then try to get a string of kind
"string1|rstring2".
Now, i get a single string which is a combination of two different strings
with different fonts and also displayed in 2 different lines of the same
table column and row.

i display this in
-(void)tableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView willDisplayCell:(id)aCell
  forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn*)aTableColumn row:(int)rowIndex
function by identifying the table column identifier in the below mentioned
manner.
[[aTableColumn dataCellForRow:rowIndex]
setAttributedStringValue:[attrStringArray objectAtIndex:rowIndex]];
[Note that attrStringArray is my array which contains all the strings of
type NSMutableAttributedString.]

Also, i am planning to use the concepts of cocoa bindings, so i have bound
the initial string what i got i.e. string1|rstring2 to the nib.

My problem is now, when the table selection changes, since i have bound that
particular table column, my table view cell displays "string1|rstring2"
intially and after some time gap,
goes to -(void)tableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView willDisplayCell:(id)aCell
  forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn*)aTableColumn row:(int)rowIndex
function and then displays the string as expected with different fonts.

Can anyone suggest me a better method to do this? How can i program so that
this delay does not happen and my strings are displayed properly?

Or can i use any other function instead of -(void)tableView:(NSTableView
*)aTableView willDisplayCell:(id)aCell
  forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn*)aTableColumn row:(int)rowIndex
to display my strings properly?

Thanks and Regards,
Vibhatha.
