The "Fonts" node in the Emacs manual starts with:
--------
By default, Emacs displays text in X using a 12-point monospace
font. There are several different ways to specify a different font:
@itemize
@item
Click on @samp{Set Default Font} in the @samp{Options} menu. To save
this for future sessions, click on @samp{Save Options} in the
@samp{Options} menu.
--------
So I think this is well documented. And `menu-set-font' doesn't save,
according to the manual and my skimming the code, so I don't think this
is a bug.
