Can anyone identify the wonderful font coming from my empeg?

That looks like "Incorrect COM Port Settings Demi Bold". Or it could possibly be a variation of "Wrong Port Speed Narrow Italic", or "You Need To Cycle The Power On The Empeg Gothic".

Oh, I just realized... it could also possibly be "Bad Cable Modern", or "Make Sure The Cable Is Plugged In All The Way Oldstyle".

Nah...it was a freak occurance. I just closed out of my terminal program and went back in, and it was fine again.

Hi.

Though you solved it by restarting your terminal program:
That looks like something binary was cat'ed to the terminal, switching fonts by control characters being sent to the terminal. If that was the case, sending the following character sequence might help (or could have helped):
"echo "+CTRL-V+CTRL-O
That is sending the literal string "echo" followed by a space character, the CTRL-V control code and the CTRL-O control code.
By the way, I think CTRL-V CTRL-N is the combination switching to the garbled font. (Just verified this, yes, I'm right.)
You could leave out the "echo " part, if you don't mind your shell complaining about an unknown command/nonexistant file.

The 'reset' command also works on some terminals. I'm not sure if its present on the empeg, something else worth playing around to find .

It's more like "VT100 shift-out received" :)

Hmm, is that the Light or Demi variant?
