My priorities changed, so I haven't had a chance to do anything about
this, and I won't for a while.  What's worse is that we'll be moving
from VMs where I have sudo access to install software to VMs where we
don't.  So we won't be able to install software rpmforge anymore.  I
can still install from source at my home area though, :-)

I still consider a good thing to have terminus-fonts (both console and
X ones) available, so perhaps if someone else is interested, the
attempt can be done, :-)

Thanks for the effort,
