To set the font-family you don't need to put quotes around the Arial. I believe this prevents your style sheet from parsing correctly.

A side note: at the moment only your menuBt is styled, other buttons will look like default buttons. To change button style for all buttons in the menu, move the style into the setStylesheet() call of the menu like this:

menu->setStyleSheet("QMenu::item {font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; color: #808080; border: 1px solid gray; background-color: rgb(234,234,234);}" +
"QMenu::item:hover {background-color: rgb(0, 0, 255);}" +
"QPushButton {font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; color: #808080; border: 1px solid gray;padding: 1px 18px 1px 3px;min-width: 6em; background-color: rgb(234,234,234);}");

But if you want only this one button to look different, it is correct to call setStylesheet() on it, but you can omit the selector, like this:

menuBt->setStyleSheet("font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; color: #808080; border: 1px solid gray;padding: 1px 18px 1px 3px;min-width: 6em; background-color: rgb(234,234,234);");
