Actually I think the bug has not been fixed in the right way: when I
did the new menu thing a long time ago, I decided that having menus in
bold was stupid, so that I switched to using normal font.

So we had two fonts:

- one for normal popup text and menus
- one for bold text in popups.

The problem is that the second one is still named menu_font. So the
right fix obviously is just to rename this menu_font variable to
alt_font or whatever. But it seems I got lazy and forgot to do/propose
it. 

Would it be a problem to rename the variable? Of course this mens
people will get errors when reading their preference file until they
apply preferences, but we could also have compatibility code. Or we
could keep the name of the variable but change its help text and GUI.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
