Perhaps you should instead consider the reason you need to use XLFDs to
specify fonts.  It is highly unlikely for fonts loaded by FreeType-based
font backends to also exist on the X server, and thus be accessible from
the X core protocol in the first place.

TRT is probably to write a new menu library that uses Emacs's own font
backends for displaying text.
