Thanks John, very nice. On a Linux VT, `setfont sun12x22' should load
that same font, with its symmetric `'.
https://lxr.missinglinkelectronics.com/linux/lib/fonts/font_sun12x22.c#L944
(On my ex-Chromebook with its small screen, I often stick to a Linux VT.)
It's available as an X Window System font in places.
xlsfonts -fn '-sun-gallant-*'

Cheers, Ralph.
