Well i tried what i could but still wasnt able to get the substitution to work.
On my Mate desktop the menu font is the 'Application font' and it is Sans 9pt,
but setting that to do the substitution didnt work after unchecking using the
system font for UI.

Well that is a limitation of the OS and not a feature that other apps provide.

Well as stated by Adolfo, it was a decision that the UX team had taken in 2012
and hadnt been implemented. Well the change is an attempt to clean up the
options dialog which is quite complicated.

There are many changes that havent been included in the release notes yet, but
will be added closer to the release. 5.* will take up a similar amount of disk
space and memory as 4.*.
@Stuart, Cor, Heiko: Any input on this issue, as i was thinking to bring it to
the design meeting.
