I upgraded to IntelliJ 2020.1, which uses the new JetBrains Mono font by default. However, I would like to switch back to using the previous default, but I don't remember the name. What was the name of the default font on pre-2020.1 versions of IntelliJ IDEA?

The recently introduced JetBrains Mono font has become the default font in IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1. The free and open-source Mono was specifically designed by the Prague-based company for developers to improve code readability.
If you need to quickly change the font size while in the editor, press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings, go to Editor | General, and select Change font size with Command+Mouse Wheel or Change font size with Control+Mouse depending on your operating system.
To customize the default font, open the Editor | Font page of the IDE settings Ctrl+Alt+S . This font is used and inherited in all color schemes by default. For more information, see Font. IntelliJ IDEA can use any font that's available in your operating system.
The new Cascadia Code font includes Cascade Mono, which is the default font in Visual Studio 2022.
There is an official comment on the IntelliJ support site, stating the pre-2020.1 defaults per operating system are as follows:
Menlo DejaVu Sans Mono Consolas Monospaced I checked the default settings on IDEA version 2019.3 on OSX, and the default font is indeed Menlo, Size 12, Line spacing 1.2.
You can configure it by going to Preferences → Editor → Font

The easiest option is to do Preferences -> Editor -> Color Schema -> Color Scheme Font
And choose "Classic Light". It will revert Font back to Menlo, size 12 and line spacing 1.2
