Someone changed the default font that is stored in the PRAM of your
MacII.  You need a utility that allows you to change PRAM or clear
it.  PRAM-5.0 works ok on a MacII (I tested it on mine).  There
is also a CDEV that allows you to change the default font.  Zapping
the PRAM using shift-option-command-(control panel) will NOT work, as
it only sets a validity bit in the PRAM.  Since you can have a different
default font, it will pass the test on the next bootup.  I believe
both PRAM-5.0 and the app font CDEV are available on sumex.
