lost default font in printer test page

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

The prnter test page comes out in some strange font. The same font
occurs when printing system properties.

How can I get back the font that used to be used?
Fiddling with Adobe ATM some months ago might be the cause, but that
has been unistalled.

Epson 880.

Thanks for any help.

The strange font is spacetoaster.

Is there any setting in registry which determines which font is to be
used? Or is it in an .inf file?
