It can vary depending on what theme they use in 95-ME/NT-2k and what 
Visual Style they use in XP.

By default in 95 through ME, I believe it was "MS Serif" or "MS Sans 
Serif".  Default on XP I believe is "Tahoma"

In ME and XP (Most likely 98/NT/2K also), you can get the Menu font from 
the registry under the following:
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics,MenuFont

It's in binary format so you'll have to convert it to get the text name 
of the font being used for the menu.  I'm not sure at the moment how to 
convert that in Rev.

(Rev can read registry data can't it?)
