yes, and that is not good and would be nice if it was improved.

For example, on my system, the default X resources font used in
no-toolkit emacs is too small and changing it is rather inconvenient.
So when I choose a default face in .emacs, most of the no-toolkit emacs
does what I expect, except the popped up menu text, which is unreadable.

Would it be possible to change it so that even this popped up menu text
font is not determined by X resources but by the usual emacs face
mechanism?

Regards,

Tomas
