So for menus that may take a while to build, consider appending the

What of menus that already have a selection well down the list? In
this case, it sounds like my original idea of immediately building
the list of font names on nibloading/creation/whenever first, then
rendering the attributed titles in the background (and updating the
popup on the main thread) might still be the better option.
Or have I misunderstood?
If your menu has a selection, like a popup menu, then your idea is
definitely the way to go. However, getting the list of available
fonts can take a noticeable amount of time, so you may find it too
expensive to build the list up-front.
