How can I change the font of the text for the menu bar and for the menu items? Or is this decided by the system? I've tried the following code but with no luck:

use warnings; use strict;

package MyApp;
use Wx qw(:everything);
use base 'Wx::App';

my $font = Wx::Font->new(16,1,wxFONTFAMILY_DEFAULT,wxFONTWEIGHT_BOLD,)
+;
    
sub OnInit {

    my $frame = Wx::Frame->new(undef,-1,'Test',[0,0],[200,200],);
    
    my @id = (0 .. 10);     
    my $menu   = Wx::Menu->new();
    my $menuitem = $menu->Append($id[0], "Help");
    
    $menuitem->SetFont($font); #Font won't change
    my $menubar   = Wx::MenuBar->new();
    
    $menubar->SetFont($font); #Font won't change
    
    $menubar->Append($menu, "About");
    $frame->SetMenuBar($menubar);
    
    $frame->Show();
    
}
  
MyApp->new->MainLoop;

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
