You can check if your menu buttons are text or images if you try to copy and paste a menu button. If you can highlight the text, it is a text link.

Text Colors
Use readable and professional looking fonts. The contrast of the text to the background should be very high. If your background is white black, gray, dark green and dark blue are good colors for text.Make sure you don’t use more than 3 different text colors. Stay consistent throughout the site. Using CSS styles helps to control the look and feel of the website.
