Since you're using one font for the whole table, you could also set it
just once whenever the user changes for font, for example in the
changeFont: action method of your NSDocument.

Something like this (no guarantees, typing from memory):

-(void)changeFont:(id)sender
{
    NSFont* newFont = [sender convertFont: [sender selectedFont]];
    NSEnumerator* columns = [[myTableView tableColumns]
objectEnumerator];
    NSTableColumn* column;

    while (column = [columns nextObject])
        [[column dataCell] setFont: newFont];

    [myTableView setRowHeight: [newFont defaultLineHeightForFont] + 2];
}

Not sure about your vertical centering problem... I haven't seen that.
