STYLES.DDF does not affect RTS Menus or tips.

Currently, most RTS options in STYLES.ddf have no affect.

In theory we should be able to set fonts, size, and colours.

This initially was a limitation of how old menus were coded into RTS. RTS_MENU, IIRC. I’d much rather move that menu definition code into COAL..

I’ll see about updating those with RTS. Ideally I want to move the entire menu sub-system over to COAL, in much the same way QuakeC manages its menu system.

I’ve tried in years past to revamp the menu code, but I might consider it once bugs are squashed. When I come back to the engine I usually go into these things armed with much more knowledge after studying it for awhile...
