1. I agree generally with David's siggestions.

2. Below is one possible reordering, with some name changes (shorter).
Submenus use nouns; menu items use verbs. Some items could be removed, as
Kim & David suggested. Debug stuff could be combined in a submenu instead of
a main-menu pane.

3. Note the ellipsis (...) for Font: This opens a dialog box (at least on
Windows).
