You can set the font for the labels on the menu bar, and you can set the
font of the items in the drop down portion independently (except on Windows
where you cannot control the font of the menu bar labels). I just don't
know how to set the font for the menu bar labels using an option_add
command.
...option_add("*Menu*font", "Helvetica 12 bold") works fine
...option_add("*Cascade*font", "Helvetica 12 bold") does not,
because I can't figure out what to put in for "Cascade". There must be
something, because I can use font = "Helvetica 12 bold" in the add_cascade
command OK (see below).
The program runs on Windows, Linux, Solaris, Mac.
