If use-dialog-box is set, you want menu-set-font to call itself?

In any case, the current definition is:

(defun menu-set-font ()
  "Interactively select a font and make it the default on all frames.

The selected font will be the default on both the existing and future frames."
  (interactive)
  (set-frame-font (if (fboundp 'x-select-font)
		      (x-select-font)
		    (mouse-select-font))
		  nil t))

So it uses a graphical chooser by default, no matter whether
use-dialog-box is set or not.  So I don't think there's anything to fix
here, and I'm closing this bug report.
