The Terminusa font

These fonts are licencsed under GPL v2.0 or later, with font embedding exception

1. Normal, Bold and Small TrueType bitmap-only files

Terminusa.ttf   Terminusa-Bold.ttf   TerminusaSmall.ttf   TerminusaSmall-Bold.ttf  

You can install them in modern Linux distros too by copying to ~/.fonts or some dir under /usr/share/fonts/truetype then creating /etc/fonts/conf.d/90-terminusa.conf or ~/.fonts.conf or ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf with contents:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
 <selectfont>
  <acceptfont>
   <pattern>
    <patelt name="family">
     <string>Terminusa</string>
    </patelt>
   </pattern>
  </acceptfont>
 </selectfont>
 <selectfont>
  <acceptfont><pattern>
   <patelt name="family">
    <string>Terminusa Small</string>
   </patelt></pattern>
  </acceptfont>
 </selectfont>
</fontconfig>

After that execute command fc-cache -f to get them visible in apps.
To check presence of installed fonts use command: fc-list Terminusa file family style pixelsize
Usage with xterm: xterm -fa Terminusa -fs 12 &
Usage with xjed: xjed -fn Terminusa -fs 12 &

2. Bitmap normal/bold/small source fonts

ter-au12n.bdf   ter-au12b.bdf   ter-au16n.bdf   ter-au16b.bdf   ter-aus12n.bdf   ter-aus12b.bdf   bdfinst.sh  

Modify fontconfig settings as in TTF case then run script which generates PCF format fonts in ~/.fonts and rehashes fontconfig cache.
To check presence of installed fonts use command fc-list Terminusa file family style pixelsize

3. Mac OS font

Terminusa.dfont   Terminusa-Bold.dfont   TerminusaSmall.dfont   TerminusaSmall-Bold.dfont  

4. Linux console font

Installation in Debian based distros: as admin user copy the chosen font to /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts folder then modify console setup config file /etc/default/console-setup with lines:

CHARMAP="UTF-8"
FONT="Lat2-Terminusa16.psf.gz"

You can use UTF-8 or iso-8859-2 encoding settings for console while UTF-8 is the preffered one.
After that execute command setupcon --save and update-initramfs -u to have it as the console font.
Remember to remove cached font to install a new wersion under the same name: rm /etc/console-setup/cached_Lat2-Terminusa16.psf.gz.
