Stewart,

Unchanged your code does update the font of the Menu-bars items
(I.E The words "File" + "Options") but not the menu items.

I just had a thought perhaps it's a different Pmw version..... ahhh
yes I've got an old 0.8.3 Pmw Bundle in my dumping ground directory!
This version of Pmw uses Menubuttons (under the covers|) perhaps the
latest is different...

I will need to download and install (should have done that years ago)

Incidentally I am also using Python 2.3.4 - I Must have upgraded in my
sleep ;-)

Will let you know after the upgrade...

Cheers,
Martin.
