On Windows? You can't: the size of the font used for menus is the
system default, because Emacs uses the system's "toolkit" to display
menus. It's the same as with X toolkits: the font of the menus is
determined by customizing the toolkit, not by customizing Emacs.
IOW, if you want to change the size of characters in the menus, you
need to change that for all the programs on that system, in the
settings for system menus.
