[TYPO3-english] GMENU Font Error

[Erik Svendsen]

There are lots of examples of TMENU around. For instance 
http://www.typo3wizard.com/en/snippets/menus/text-menu.html, which are a 
almost complete setup for 3 level TMENU with different classes for each 
level and state.

CSS for a TMENU is standard CSS for listbased menus. Which has a 
tremendous amount of resourses on the web.

Regards

Erik
