I would like to know also.
Unfortunately, it isn't only the menus (though they are among the worst
offenders), its also requestors, and windows, not to mention more than 90%
of the utilities and other nifty programs out there! Because several other-
wise usefull utilities (specifically ASDG's Sysmon program) use the default
font and assume that it is 8 pixels high, I fire it off with the default
font left at Topaz/8, then switch to Topaz/11 for my CLI (actually WShell)
window. But, if you activate the Sysmon window (real easy when using DMouse),
the window title goes to Topaz/11! This should be fixed, also.
