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.
