It may seem silly, but I cannot find out how to install Terminus such that I can use it as a regular font. I also want to make it my default console font and for everything else, but I have no idea how.
I have tried using the Ubuntu Software Center, but the font is not there. I have tried the xfonts-terminus package, but it does not appear in my font list. I tried downloading the source manually, but there are no ttf or otf files. Any ideas?

The only fonts that are offered by the source at http://terminus-font.sourceforge.net/ are bitmap fonts which are disabled in Ubuntu by default.
I tested building from source using the directions in the included README using a LiveUSB of Ubuntu 18.04.3, but the font was not available in LibreOffice even after installing and running
sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfigYou will likely need to enable bitmap fonts on your system to install this font as offered by the developer. You might also try to find a fork has TTF/OTF fonts. Perhaps this is what you are looking for: "Terminus" on GitHub
