This isn't quite what you want, but may be the "best" one-at-a-time solution:

Xv_font font1; // Set font1 to desired font...

xv_set(panel_list, PANEL_LIST_FONTS, font1, font1, [...], NULL, NULL);

Basically, PANEL_LIST_FONTS takes a NULL-terminated list of fonts that
it assigns in turn to each row in the list.  So, it only takes one xv_set
and one attribute within the xv_set, but you must repeat the name of the
font once for each row.  This at least was the way of XView 2.0, don't
know if there is a better way in XView 3.0.
