If you're doing this application-wide, it's easier to use
UIManager to change the default fonts, then update
all of the UI. Otherwise, you should probably subclass
JMenuItem, JCheckBoxMenuItem, etc. so that they
get their fonts from your own UI manager (you'll
still need to update all UI after a change). I would
only do this recursively as you are trying to do if the
menu is created by library code for which the source
is not available.
