Thanks, that's what I will do, but it does seem to me that there is a whole 
unexplained area in RR about how it decides what menu fonts and sizes 
should be on different platforms if the developer doesn't intervene (it's 
something to do with the concept of the owner's font). IMHO there should be 
a recipe for setting this up in a cross-platform app so as to get the most 
'normal' looking menus in each case. AFAIK all menu fonts are the same for 
all apps on each of RR's platforms (well, Windows and Mac anyway) - I guess 
this may change with the theme or whatever, but it doesn't change with 
individual apps, does it? Really I'd like someone from the RunRev team to 
explain how this is intended to work...
