Around 2000, I worked at Lucent, which was a Sun shop. But I can't remember this font. Was it only used on the console, i.e. in text mode?

If you booted single-user or didn't have a graphical login manager, you'd see this on the console on SunOS 4 and earlier (80s and 90s, pre-Solaris). I think by the time Solaris (or even open look) rolled around, it had a graphical user login.

Solaris 2.6 and 7 didn’t have a graphical boot splash, so you’d see this while watching a SPARC box boot up.

Just recently found an adafruit guide to building a solaris 2.6 setup using QEMU. The nostalgia!

edit: just remembered that you sadly don't get to see Sun Gallant Demi in all its glory, because it boots using the QEMU openfirmware.

When you hit stop-a to emergency-halt the system, you'd see this console.
