If the Emacs installed at your site was built to use the X toolkit
with the Lucid menu widgets, then the menu bar is a separate widget and
has its own resources. The resource names contain `pane.menubar'
(following, as always, the name of the Emacs invocation or `Emacs'
which stands for all Emacs invocations). Specify them like this:
Emacs.pane.menubar.resource: value
For example, to specify the font `8x16' for the menu-bar items,
write this:
Emacs.pane.menubar.font: 8x16
Resources for non-menubar toolkit pop-up menus have
`menu*', in like fashion. For example, to specify the font
`8x16' for the pop-up menu items, write this:
Emacs.menu*.font: 8x16
For dialog boxes, use `dialog' instead of `menu':
Emacs.dialog*.font: 8x16
Experience shows that on some systems you may need to add
`shell.' before the `pane.menubar' or `menu*'. On
some other systems, you must not add `shell.'.
Here is a list of the specific resources for menu bars and pop-up menus:
