But is that correct (given that the HIG does not agree)? And what if I want some different font? the height cache is also not relevant, that's something that's created as a RESULT of the settings, not the other way around.

NSTableView does not have a font.

That does not answer anything. It does not say WHAT size I should use, which was my question, and moreover it's irrelevant. 

NSTableView also does not care. -[NSTableView sizeToFit] changes the column widths, not the rowHeight.
