Java TM 2 Platform Std. Ed. v1.5.0 (b28) reads about java.awt.MenuBar.setFont(Font) method
(inherited from class java.awt.MenuComponent):
...
public void setFont(Font f)

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.

Some platforms may not support setting of all font attributes of a menu component; in such cases,
calling setFont 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.
...

I have found some inexactnesses in java.awt.MenuBar class implementation. If MenuBar behavior
described in this bug report is correct, it will be better to reflect it in API Specification.

Please, run the script from "How to reproduce" section on the different platforms and with
different toolkits (XToolkit/MToolkit) and play with tested MenuBar component:

1. On Windows systems (tested on Windows XP, Windows 2000) menu font changes as expected both for
menu items and menu header if it is "Dialog, 17, Plain". However, it does not work if font size is
big enougth: for example, the font is correct for menu items, but unexpectedly small for menu header
if I set font properties to "Dialog, 24, Plain".

On Linux and Solaris platforms (tested on Solaris 10 sparc/Gnome2, Solaris 10 x86/CDE,
Suse Linux 8.1/Gnome2, RedHat Adv. Server 2.1/Gnome) menu header font does not change at all with
XToolkit, but changes correctly with MToolkit (please, note that XToolkit is a default toolkit now).
In the same time, menu item font changes correctly with both toolkits.

2. Please, select "setHelpMenu" switch and then click "Add" button. It is expected that Help menu
appears at the top right corner of the frame, but this is not true for MToolkit (Solaris/Linux
systems): actually it appears in the same place as the usual menu. If I deselect "setHelpMenu" and
add several non-help menus, help menu does not remain the rightest as expected: it behaves as usual
menu instead.

3. Please, add several menus and Help menu and then resize the tested frame on Solaris/Linux with
XToolkit: when all the memus do not fit in the tested window, Help menu overlaps one of the other
menus. On Windows MenuBar just change its height so all the menus fit in the tested frame in this case
(this is OK), and on Solaris/Linux with MToolkit some menus become invisible so that help menu does
not overlap anu menu in MenuBar.

4. Please, add several menus and resize the tested frame. When all the menus do not fit in the tested
window try to select one of them and then click "Left" or "Right" keys several times. It is expected that
when the rightest visible menu becomes selected and the user click "Right" key the cursor remains on the
same place and menus shifts left, so the next menu becomes visible and selected. But it does not happen
with MToolkit: if the tested Window is too narrow and some menu is not visible, it is impossible to
select such menu. It does not happen with XToolkit, however I am not sure that MenuBar behaviour is
correct in this case.
