[TYPO3-english] GMENU Font Error

[Erik Svendsen]

GMENU is never a really good choice for menus. In my opinion you should 
never use it. Why:
1. It's a bad accessibility choice, your menu is unreadable for a screen 
reader.
2. It's not good for search engines.
3. It makes very often a slower website - more http requests.

When you are using ordinary fonts, Arial, Verdana, it's better with 
TMENU and CSS. In my opinion it's also faster to code.

Even when you are making menus with other fonts, there are better 
solutions than GMENU.
