actually, it seems that the resource (app-defaults) file is the immediate
problem.   You can override that (if it's inconvenient to edit the installed
app-defaults file) using a more-specific setting in your $HOME/.Xresources
file for instance.  Something like
        XVile*menubar*font: 8x13
should work.  (I use XAPPLRESDIR instead - the X manpage gives a lot of
possibilities).
