[bug #19804] ugly # chars in menu

[Riccardo mottola]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #19804 (project gnustep):

the idea could be to have some custom images or, as you propose, a custom
font, to draw the shortcut symbols. The font has the disadvantage that when
using xlib it would need to be installed on the target machine, for art it
would be fine. If I remember correctly Sun's openlook used a Glyph font too.
But for a couple of images having this toruble? Maybe .TIFFs would be enough
and they could also handle "theming" and "platform look and feel" easily.
thus the "alt_key.tiff" could be empty or  a hash on unix, the option symbol
on mac and the appropriate key on windows! THus supporting the exchange of
the WIndows key, the apple gey, the amiga key or whatever for the same
function.
