[COFF] The gallant font?

[Stuff Received via COFF]

A question was asked on comp.sys.sun.hardware (reproduced below as I 
could not find a link for it).  The OBP description 
(https://github.com/openbios/openboot/blob/master/obp/pkg/termemu/gallant.fth) 
says nothing about author -- not surprising as all copyright is invested 
in one's employer.

Anyone here know?
