Comment (by GermanTribun):

 I did add a screenshot from the German version to show how it looks there.
 My guess is either the original game did have a coding error, or they only
 noticed later how ugly it looks and fixed it for the localized versions
 (which needed some new letter anyway). Makes me wonder if the game can be
 patched to replace the "s" with the one from the localized version.

 Btw., if you are open for more about this game. Many years ago I reported
 an issue with the music in the nightmare sequences, but to me not yet
 being savy with reporting, it got dismissed.

 The issue is, that Sierra for three musics in the game did provide digital
 versions that sound much better and the game does prefer if detected.
 Gabriel Knight theme (5.wav for title screen and opening credits),
 nightmare theme (99.wav for nightmare sequences) and end credits theme
 (5400.wav for the end credits). The issue was that the game looks for
 100.wav for the nightmare sequences, of course doesn't find it and reverts
 to MIDI. While that can be fixed by renaming 99.wav to 100.wav, it's not
 elegant. I strangely also saw some playthroughs, where the closing credits
 music played over the opening credits (perhaps a bug in low-res mode?).
