[TYPO3-english] GMENU Font Error

[Jamie Gorst]

Erik,

I would do this however I¹ve invested a lot of time into generating gmenus.
I don¹t have the time to start building a standard tmenu that I can use
again and again.

I¹ve searched around but can¹t find a resource for code already written that
includes styles and setup script that¹s not complicated typoscript... Would
be useful, any ideas?

Cheers
Jamie
