I don't have a Windows machine to test on at the moment, and it's
possible that I botched my test code in the message.  What I
observed was that
* If a menu is the -menu of a Toplevel, font settings are ignored on
  Windows
* If a menu is the -menu of a Menubutton, font settings are obeyed
  on Windows

I did not test the case for "cascade"s of the menubar, but I suspect
that *will* show the changed font on Windows.
