You might try using the Popup Menu CDEF which is part of the Communications
Toolbox (and will eventually be included as a part of System 7.0)
which allows the control to use the owning windows font and size
for the popup both in its quiescent state and for the the menu when it is
popped up.

You are sort of on the right track with stuffing SysFontFam and SysFontSize
but you may need to play with the window manager port and/or color window
manager ports.  You may also need to flush the font manager cache.
