title: Unable to change font in java.awt.MenuBar
body: <p>I'm trying to change the font in an AWT menu bar using <code>MenuBar.setFont()</code>. The call works for the menu bar's child menus, but the menu bar itself doesn't change font (I'm trying to make the font larger).</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know whether this is possible to do?</p>
  
  <p>I'm using JRE 1.6 on Windows XP.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong>: Changing the font does seem to work so long as the text fits within the menu bar height, otherwise the font size is reduced.</p>
