Its been a long time since I've had an apollo around, so I can't
check this, but I think that one of he "fixed" fonts might have
looked the same.
Looking at some old backup tapes, maybe the f5x7 or f5x9 fonts
(in /sys/dm/fonts) would be right?

There may not even be an exact font match on the operating system
install.

I hope this may help.

The dtty font (as opposed to the prom font, which is different) as far
as I can tell came from Doug Orr, John Laporta, and Rob Stanzel, and
is not the same as any of the DM fonts. It first appeared in sr10
August 23, 1987. Before then the dtty (console for saus) used the prom
font, which is lighter and upper case only. Contact me if you want a
copy.
