Adjusting NSTableView row height for custom fonts

Hello,

I'm allowing the user to select the font for browsing a list in an
NSTableView.  I'm setting the font in the tableView's dataSource:

- (void)tableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView
      willDisplayCell:(id)aCell
      forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)aTableColumn
      row:(int)rowIndex
{
      if ([aCell respondsToSelector:@selector(setFont:)]) {
          NSFont *font = [preferences browseTableFont];
          [aCell setFont:font];
      }

      ...
}

When I do this, I have 2 problems.

1-) Even if I use the default font (Lucida Grande 13pt), it is drawn in
the cell below middle.  NSCell doesn't seem to have a method for setting
vertical alignment.

2-) The cell height is too small to display large fonts.  I can use
setRowHeight: to adjust the height of the cells, but the centering thing
is still a problem.

I'm assuming there's a nice implementation already in use out there...
How have you guys been doing this?

Thanks.
