Change font in one column of tkinter treeview

I would like to display a list of about 2500 fonts with 2 columns. Column 1 with the font name and column 2 with a sample text styled with the font named in column 1 for that row.

I am trying to use tkinter treeview to do this. I saw a similar question asked here but the answer that was given only applied to column headers.

I am also open to suggestions for other widget structures to accomplish this.

for font_name in font_list:
    # create a tag for each font name in the list
    # the name of the font is the name of the tag
    my_treeview.tag_configure(font_name, font=font_name)
    # insert items into the treeview using the font_name tags
    my_treeview.insert(
        '',
        tk.END,
        values=(font_name, sample_text),
        tags=[font_name]
    )
    # the caveat here is that both columns will be in the new font
