hello, world\n I'm digging into the history of the gallant 12x22 font that was used as the console font for many SUN products. Think "ok" prompt. I know it from watching SPARCstations boot. While it at some point made its way into BSD, as evidenced by NetBSD's https://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/sys/dev/wsfont/gallant12x22.h, I asked Jef and he guesses it was designed by someone at Sun. Any old Sun engineers around who can contribute a little bit of history of the gallant font and associated files?
