It says Outline.
On my website (below) you can download a screenshot
"mma-spacing.png", where I used Default.nb.

Settings in Option-Inspector concerning "font" which could be
relevant are:

ToPostScriptOptions/IncludeSpecialFonts->True
FontSubstitutins->{Helv->Helvetica, Arial->Helvetica,
     CourierNew->Courier,...<a lot more<}

FontOptions/FontFamily->"Palatino"

It's interesting, that Default.nb uses Palatino for Text, I believed
Default.nb had Times as default.

May be it has to do with my private Style Sheet, which I made
default by entering it in DefaultSyleDefinitions in the
OptionInspector. This one uses AndaleMono for Input/Output-Cells and
Palatino for Text.

Gruss Peter
