The default font of grub2 in 12.04 is unicode.pf2
. Check this command
grep -n font /boot/grub/grub.cfg
It is described in 45th line in grub.cfg
file. The location of the font is /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2
.
Update to include information from OP's comment:
OP wrote in a later comment,
In Grub Customizer on the right side there is a little red minus sign that removes the custom font. click that and hit save and boom back to the default font

2Thanks for the help. I feel sheepish. I Grub Customizer on the right side there is a little red minus sign that removes the custom font. click that and hit save and boom back to the default font.– MatthewOct 11, 2012 at 15:02

And how would I find that in a font picker? I can't find any font named "unicode.pf2"– xjclJul 21, 2020 at 20:02
The default grub font is not listed in the options of Grub Customizer.
But you can revert the changes you made by clicking the red "minus" button that is next to the font selection option in Grub Customizer.
Install the unifont like so:
$ sudo apt install unifont
Choose from the list by searching "uni"
I believe the default grub2 font is Ariel

3I'm sure grub2's font isn't Ariel. Arial only get installed if you install msttfcorefonts-installer package.– AnwarOct 11, 2012 at 5:28

5The font isn't a mermaid - it's called "Arial", not "Ariel"! XD Nov 28, 2012 at 23:34
