The 'feature' of non-scrolling GS menus is not a 'bug', but a
deliberate descision on the part of the GS tools people at apple.
They felt the GS wasn't fast enough to do the scrolling menu bit, and
therefore haven't implemented it.  The solution for the fonts problem
mentioned is to use _ChooseFont, a standard tool call that brings up a
dialog giving the user a choice of typeface & style.

Apple MAY, in the future, implement scrolling menus, but it will be an
enhancement, not a bug fix. (maybe the gs+? :-)
