It's been that way for a LONG time now, and is quite well known.
It's a fact that the menus (cf. the actual menu bar) use a bigger
font size.
Lucida Grande 13 pt is used for normal text except for normal text of
menus. Although the regular sized system text is 13 pt, Lucida
Grande 14 pt is used for the menus (menu bar, regular sized pop-up
menus, regular sized combo box menu, etc.). This is done in order
to keep the actual menu size consistent and was a design choice by
Apple. Small and mini controls aren't affected by this.

When the menu pops up, it appears that the non-attributed menu item
titles are drawn at a slightly larger size. The attributed title
is drawn at the same size as displayed in the NSPopUpButton. The
size difference is noticeable, and looks bad.
The small-sized pop up buttons don't exhibit this behavior.
Is there something that I am doing incorrectly, or could this
be a bug? I'm using Xcode 2.1 on 10.4.1.
