Hey Sarah, I recently fought some battles with menus myself, so I share your
pain.  Sorry I don't have an immediate solution for you, but when I was
looking through the docs I came across the 'option' and 'pulldown' commands
to treat stacks a menus (I knew about 'popup' but never knew about the other
two).  Perhaps a substack with a font list triggered by one of the above
commands could work for you?
