At my NeXT the Application Font changed. I could not set it to Helvetica
(Preferences). Log out and new log in did not help. Even reboot changed
nothing. Only after interrupting (Command-Command-~) and booting from
the ROM monitor (thereby forcing a fsck) my Helvetica reappeared.
I too suspect IComm: after trying to set the tty to 19200 and
even parity, characters from or to that tty appeared in a terminal window
and somewhat shocked I logged out and then I was shocked by Courier.
But I do NOT want to blame the author of IComm. NO user programm should be
able to disturb the file system.

j.k.
