Have you tried something like this:

  UIManager.put( "Menu.font", new Font( "Arial", Font.PLAIN, 8 ));
  UIManager.put( "MenuItem.font", new Font( "Arial", Font.PLAIN, 8 ));

The keys for different aspects of the UI are in the source for 
BasicLookAndFeel. The bad news is that (on my system at least) the 
resulting font is pretty bad, not like the native Arial 8.
