A TCK bug was filed about MenuComponent.setFont (4700350), and resolved
in J2SE 1.4.2. As a result of the work done for this issue, the spec for
this API should also be updated to reflect the behavior agreed upon by J2SE
TCK and development engineering.

J2ME TCK also raised this issue, and have indicated that they would like the
spec clarified.

The spec currently reads:

    /**
     * Sets the font to be used for this menu component to the specified
     * font. This font is also used by all subcomponents of this menu
     * component, unless those subcomponents specify a different font.
     * <p>Some platforms may not support setting the font
     * of a menu component; in this case, calling <code>setFont</code>
     * will have no effect.

We propose to change it to:

Sets the font to be used for this menu component to the specified
font. This font is also used by all subcomponents of this menu
component, unless those subcomponents specify a different font.
<p>
Some platforms may not support setting of all font attributes
of a menu component; in such cases, calling <code>setFont</code>
will have no effect on the unsupported font attributes of this
menu component. Unless subcomponents of this menu component
specify a different font, this font will be used by those
subcomponents if supported by the underlying platform.
