>A question that remains is that the attributes of menu bars are not (normally) defined as object properties. Fortunately, using an OOP based menu will help to minimize the effort of handling this specific case.

The menu was relatively easy to fix for us. Since this is a very old codebase, it used the menu generator to build the menu. So I changed the menubuilder (genmenu) so that it would macrosubstitute all FONT references in the MPR file:

In the genmenu code:

   \\ PROMPT "<<m.prompt>>" FONT m.gcMenuFont, &gcMenuFontsize

That results in the following MPR file:

DEFINE BAR 25 OF analysen PROMPT "\<Kosten" FONT m.gcMenuFont, &gcMenuFontsize ;
	SKIP FOR ! m.erwFlag 

That is not the most elegant way, but efficient.
