... and if you want to get really fancy (ie "modern"), you could build the list with regular strings (just "setTitle:") relatively, but use NSOperation/Queue to create / set the attributed titles with the actual fonts in the background, replacing the plain-text ones.


I suggest this because grabbing a list of font name strings is quicker than building an attributed string for each font. Do the quick thing first so it's available, but do the longer fancy thing in the background, updating while the UI is idling. Remember (99.9% of) all AppKit-related stuff should be done on the main thread.
