In GNU Emacs 25.0.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.16.4)
In the menu-bar menus, next to most entries is listed a keybind that
can be used to invoke that command. This keybind, like the rest of the
menu, is shown in a variable-width font.
IMO it would be best (if possible) to use a monospace font on the
keybinds. This should look better because they would be vertically
aligned, and because (unlike the rest of the menu) the key descriptors
represent data, not prose.
Not sure if it's possible, though.

(I'm going through old bug reports that have unfortunately not gotten
any responses.)
The key bindings (now at least) are right-aligned, and are usually of
different lengths anyway, so I think showing them in `variable-pitch'
font makes sense (and looks nice). So I'm closing this bug report.
