I think we cannot increase the size of the font normally in JMenu bar.
Good luck with other suggestion...

The question is, how do you set the Accelerator's font to the same size?

Hmmm... I added in some setAccelerator() and setMnemonic() method calls and I'm not having a problem with this... I'm running JDK 1.4 on the Windows 2000 platform...

But You shouldn't write font sizes or styles into
Your source. Instead You should store this in
a resource bundle.
See the "Java Look an Feel Guidlines" for more

Hi Nathan,
While using the setAccelerator() or setMnemonic() method calls, the font of these are not the same as that of the Menu item's font.
Is there a work around for this?
thanks and regards,
Sudha
