Article 155804 of comp.os.vms:

Here are some fonts I use in DECW$MWM.DAT:

! Various font specifications
Mwm*fontList:                   -*-times-bold-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Mwm*client*fontList:            -*-times-bold-r-normal-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Mwm*icon*fontList:              -*-times-bold-r-normal-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Mwm*feedback*fontList:          -*-times-bold-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Mwm*menu*fontList:              -*-times-bold-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*


I believe the "menu" fontlist is for the root background menus.
In DECW$TERMINAL_DEFAULT.DAT I use these resources:

! ************************************************************************
!               DECterm-Specific Color Resources.
! ************************************************************************
!
!These Shadow Colors match the Mwm active color combinations.
!
DECW$TERMINAL*bottomShadowColor:                        #6D6DB9B9E6E6
DECW$TERMINAL*topShadowColor:                           #FFFFFFFFFFFF
!
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.background:                 gray82
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.foreground:                 black
!
! ************************************************************************
!               DECterm MenuBar Resources.
!       XmRowColumn effects the Menus & Button items therein.
! The different background specifications allow the pull-down menus
! and menu items to be a color different from the top-level menu bar.
! ************************************************************************
!
*decterm_mb.background:                                 gray82
*decterm_mb.foreground:                                 black
*decterm_mb*XmRowColumn*background:                     gray82
!
! ************************************************************************
!               DECterm ScrollBar Resources.
! These seem to work only in DECW$XDEFAULTS.DAT.
! ************************************************************************
!
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.XmScrollBar.background:     gray82
*main*terminal*XmScrollBar*background:                  gray82
!
! ************************************************************************
!               End of DECterm-Specific Color Resources.
! ************************************************************************
!

However, I don't think I've tried to change the fonts in the menubar.
Nevertheless, I hope this gets you going in the right direction.

One last thing that might help is this from DECW$XDEFAULTS.DAT.
Since we "hide" the DECterm menu, there's no need for us to fiddle with fonts.

!
!    First attempts to use these in DECW$TERMINAL_DEFAULT.DAT did not work.
!  At that time, we were on Motif V1.2.  Since upgrading to Motif V1.2-3
!  and placing these in DECW$XDEFAULTS.DAT, this solution started working.
!  It's clear whether the upgrade worked, or the use of DECW$XDEFAULTS.DAT
!  was the magic bullet.
!
*decterm_mb*height:                             1
*decterm_mb*resizeHeight:                       false
*decterm_mb*resizeWidth:                        false
!
DECW$TERMINAL*.file_menu_entry.sensitive:       false
DECW$TERMINAL*.edit_menu_entry.sensitive:       false
DECW$TERMINAL*.commands_menu_entry.sensitive:   false
DECW$TERMINAL*.setup_menu_entry.sensitive:      false
DECW$TERMINAL*.print_menu_entry.sensitive:      false
DECW$TERMINAL*.help_menu_entry.sensitive:       false

! This resource was added when DECwindows 1.2-4 was installed.
! It solves the "BIG WINDOW" problem caused by new defaults on 100 dpi screens.
!
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.bigFontSetName: -*-Terminal-*-*-*--*-140-*-*-*-*-*-*
!
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.XmScrollBar.background:     gray82
