On my NT 4.0 machine, with GTK+ 1.3[.x], it seems to pick a font that
looks as if it might be the menu font, but picks a size smaller than the
one in Windows applicatin menu bars.


So I fear, this is almost unreadable?


Not for me, but I have reasonably good vision - some might find them too small.

Yesterday I did some tests on my old notebook, about this system font size topic:

GTK1 on Win98: ok (smaller system fonts than "before",just like it should be)
GTK2 on Win98: doesn't use the smaller system fonts (just like "before")

GTK1 on WinNT4: very small system font (like you describe)
GTK2 on WinNT4: doesn't use the smaller system fonts (just like "before")

So it seems, that the GTK2 port doesn't really uses this settings on the "old platform". Maybe some function is used,
that isn't implemented on the "older platforms".

I just done some debugging on the GTK1 on WinNT problem (the font name seems to be ok), but didn't get a good idea, what to do.

I will do some more debugging, if  I will just find some time for it.
