I was going to write an email to support but thought I would post this here in case anyone has any suggestions.

I'm going through my patches now to try and fix them up for Max 7. I seem to have hit a couple of issues with umenu:

1) a default font (Arial?) is shown in the dropdown rather than the user defined font as displayed in the unopened menu. I use a custom font for gamelan notation (kepatihan pro 

 which shows up fine in the menu as displayed in the patch and throughout in Max 6.

2) the option to remove the arrow seems to have disappeared from the inspector (or have I missed it?) - is there a way to remove it or could this be added in a future update? I often use umenus for note input in my interfaces and in this case the arrow takes up more space than the information.

I have attached a couple of screengrabs comparing the patches in Max 6 & 7.

Don't know about the default font option, but they commented on another thread that the ability to remove the arrow will be back in the next update.
