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?

There is an official comment on the IntelliJ support site, stating the pre-2020.1 defaults per operating system are as follows:
- Mac OS:
Menlo - Linux:
DejaVu Sans Mono - Windows:
Consolas - Fallback:
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
