owner draw menu

Hi there!
I 'd like to customize my main menu a bit (add icons etc.), and 1
questions arose while I was trying to do this:

I need to measure the menuitem area, but I don't really know what's the name
of the font windows uses to display menuItem text? (I know that I can create
one by myself, but I'd rather use the standard one).
