I've just made some changes to menubar.wml, in it I have defined
<define-container FONTS_SANS-SERIF> and used <FONTS_SANS-SERIF>
to replace all instances of <FONT face="Arial,Helvetica">. Arial
and Helvetica are the default so languages that use them have nothing
to change, otherwise you can use the variable SANS_SERIF_FONT to
define the fonts you want (usage is the same as MENUWIDTH).
