That might be one of these possibilities: a) the X configuration (seen with "xset -q") has something amiss with the fontpath (see attached example from my Debian/testing). b) updates to the bitmap font-directories have to be finished using mkfontdir (part of xfonts-utils). I've seen occasional comments where package updates didn't work as intended. Either way, "dpkg -L xfonts-terminus" tells me that the relevant files are in /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc If xset reports that's in the font path, I'd try (based on the manpage) sudo mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc or (by habit, since long ago it ignored the parameter...) cd /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc sudo mkfontdir and restart X. -- Thomas E.
