This is what happens: when you run a Japanese application, the menus and
all the text used in the GUI is garbled. In order to fix this, you have to
change the font settings using the Fonts and Menu applets. The lack of
these two applets would remove the ability to make these changes in an end
user friendly manner. I doubt this is what you want (unless I am missing
something). :)
You're right, that's not what I proposed. :)
If Haiku had font overlay or localization with language-sensitive font
handling, then this would not be the case. But as it is now, these two
applets are in fact necessary for a group of users.
To repeat myself: The Menu preflet is deprecated (see ticket
http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/3259), because all its useful settings were migrated into
other panels: CTRL/ALT to *Keymap*, color to *Appearance* and font settings to *Fonts*.
My question is, if everyone who has to set fonts to ungarble the interface has to set
plain, bold and fixed fonts in the Fonts preflet, why the additional setting of the menu
font? Couldn't that be set to the same plain font?
In other words, lose the menu font setting and use the same plain font setting for menus
as well.
@devs: Will the Menu preferences code be removed completely or just taken out the jam
files? (I guess the former.)

Humdinger
