font of menus

[Friedrich Laher]

is ther no way to influence the font of menus?
The
following does not work

(global-font-lock-mode -1)
(setq k "Kategorie")
(set-face-font 'modeline "12*24")
(put-text-property 0 9 'face 'modeline k)
 (x-popup-menu t
            (list k
               '("" ("Computer" . "c")("Warmduscher" . "d")
                   ("Ereignis" . "e")("Fernsehen"   . "f")
                   ("Ort"      . "o")("Person"      . "p")
                   ("Reisen"   . "r")("Sport"       . "s")
                                     ("Sprichwort"  . "w")
             ) )
)

Have you tried customizing the menu face?

See also the Lucid [Menu X] Resources or LessTif [Menu X] Resources
sections of the Emacs manual, depending on which toolkit you're using.

Thank you!

so my command line will be

emacs -xrm "Emacs.menu*.font: 12*24" ...

( and it does yield the intended result )

how to do it that way ( ?? option -> customize ... ? )
I cannot see but because my application invoces
emacs via shellscript, it's better done there anyway.
