Why not generate a preview of the font (one time) for the selection list. And load them on demand?
I was actually looking into this.
The selection list is not causing the slow startup. However, it does cause a slowdown each time it is first accessed from a new window/view. The problem there is that we are using a 'markup' data column for the list, so GTK+ doesn't know how big to make each entry until it has walked through and rendered each and every one. So the fix there will be to switch from a markup data column to a pixmap one and then render and cache them as needed on the fly.
