The purpose of my hack was to address the issue temporarily, for those menus that do not address it already (Options/Font & (later) Edit/TextProperties). All other menus do adress the problem in their own way (the Buffers menu is an example). menus anyway. I can't remember any example of a good UI that has a big number of items in a single menu (I hate HTML pages where you have to select countries, US states, etc. from 5 pages long menus). When you have such a large number of items a good UI groups them in a list box or something. To sum up, my idea was to make the Options/Font menu usable until a Qt/GTK port will help get rid of it.
