One way to change the menu fonts directly is to add these line to
~/.Xresources.
Emacs.pane.menubar.font: -adobe-times-medium-r-normal--14-130-*-*-p-*-iso10646-1
Emacs.menu*.font: -adobe-times-medium-r-normal--14-80-100-100-p-*-iso10646-1
Ofcourse you can try different fonts instead of my settings. You will
need to do xrdb -merge .Xresources and restart emacs, from the same
xterm in which the xrdb was typed. Ofcourse this need not be done
each login, as the .Xresources file is read at the beginning of each
login.
