(I'm assuming you're on a Mac)

Popup and option menus are drawn by the OS, so it sets the font used by
menu items. You can either:

- set the lookAndFeel to "Macintosh" instead of "Appearance Manager" to
have the engine draw the menus itself, in which case it uses the button
font instead of the systemwide menus font; or

- use a stack menu instead of a button menu. A stack menu is an actual
stack window that you display as a menu and which behaves like a menu.
Creating one is a little more complicated than just entering menu items
into the button contents and letting the engine create the menu, but it
gives you more flexibility in layout.
