I figured it out: changeFont: does the trick:

    fontdisp = [[NSText alloc] initWithFrame:[[box contentView] frame]];
    [fontdisp setString:
      _(@"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.")];
    [fontdisp setAlignment:NSCenterTextAlignment];
    [fontdisp setFont:[NSFont userFontOfSize:24]];
    [fontdisp setUsesFontPanel:NO];
    [fontdisp setSelectable:NO];
    [box setContentView:fontdisp];

and

- changeFont:(id)sender
{
    NSFont *cfont =
        [[NSFontManager sharedFontManager] convertFont:[fontdisp font]];
    [fontdisp setFont:cfont];
    return self;
}

I have also noticed that not only has the list become very slow, it also
seems to send out a number of duplicate messages.

Best regards,

Marko
