fontHeight not working in E.showMenu()

@TTBangler,

The way I understand that when you use a different font than the default one and it has a different size, you can pass the size in this option so the menu lib knows how to handle positioning of the individual menu items, and - I assume - to know how many items fit on the screen for scrolling.

There is another property to actually change to / set the font you want: "predraw": function(gfx) { ...; gfx.setFont(...); ...; }.

.setFont(...) provides options for the size, but I'm not sure if it is enough to set the font with height without setting the fontHeight property, because font size consists usually an x and a y component, where font height provides only one - with 'normal' orientation, it is the +y or line height related component.

Thanks @allObjects, for your reply and suggestion!

I just tried adding the "predraw" option to set a larger font but it didn't seem to have any effect (or result in any errors). Here's my updated code, thank you in advance for checking to see if I did something incorrectly:
```
    var mainMenu = {
      "" : { "title" : "-- Main Menu --", 
            "fontHeight": 40, 
    "predraw" : function(gfx) {
      gfx.setFont("Vector", 40);
    }
},
      "Item 1" : function() { undefined; },
      "Item 2" : function() { undefined; },
    };
    E.showMenu(mainMenu);
```
