I think that's a console font, not X.

How did you get to liking it?
If from another distro you can:

1. Find the package name on that distro and see if you can find a similar named 
package on portage.
2. Find the upstream package name and grep the portage tree for the name part 
of that file.
3. Grab the font from the other distro and install manually to /usr/local or 
(I think) ~/.local. If you use kde it has a nice interface for managing fonts 
on system settings.
4. Make an ebuild for it.

[gentoo-user] systemd very slow to compile?

[walt]

My very old and slow ~amd64 machine took 3 hours and 45-minutes to
compile systemd-226 today.  I was curious to know why it was taking so
long to finish, so I used 'top' to see what was happening.

Turns out that two instances of 'sh' were each using 15-30% of CPU for
a total of 30-60% (the machine has two CPUs).  cc1 never even showed up
in 'top' although the compiler was obviously compiling code because the
build did eventually finish.

I tried the same on a faster 4-core machine and I could see much the
same thing happening during the systemd build.

Can anyone else reproduce what I'm seeing?  Is this 'normal'?

I left ghc installed, as that had nothing to do with those conflicts.
The packages pulled in by the conflicting ones on a "clean" system is
so long I chose not to bother to prune the dep-tree right down from
pandoc ;) For whatever reason, adding the attachment did not work for me.

Oh, and yes, I did resync portage about Sep 8 18:00 UTC (or later) yet
again before getting the data for the bug, almost the same problem,
but dev-haskell/tls seems to have disappeared from the conflicts, ISTR
also dev-haskell/network. So it seems to be worked on already. But I
guess it might be nice to have a clean slate as mine and and example
like pandoc to find those hidden dep-conflicts ;) So now, there's a
list.

Ah. Thanks for the enlightenment :)

  Maybe media-fonts/font-dec-misc ?  An alternative option might be
media-fonts/terminus-font

Thanks, that first sure looks like it should be the one.  When I
searched with `eix' looking for dec a couple days ago... I somehow,
probably thru operator error, did not uncover it ... although I easily
find it now.

There must be some other problems

I happened to have checked the output of xlsfonts|wc -l, which showed
  1513
before installing both of those above.

Once they were installed I do not find any dec-terminal fonts but also
`xlsfonts|wc -l' still shows 1513

I thought I had noticed that count staying the same earlier when I
installed the pkg thelma mentioned; but never verified before and
after like I did now.

  qlist font-dec-misc
  /usr/share/doc/font-dec-misc-1.0.3/ChangeLog.bz2
  /usr/share/fonts/misc/decsess.pcf.gz
  /usr/share/fonts/misc/deccurs.pcf.gz

And terminus-font has too many files to list here
  qlist terminus-font|wc -l
   288

Surely the number recorded in xlsfonts should rise eh?

PS - For the record eix showed neither package you posted to be
installed prior to the installations I performed a few minutes ago,
yet no increase in number of fonts

Am I wrong to expect xslfonts to show what I have installed?
