I'm trying to get the Terminus font on Terminator, and I already did the following:
-
Got the fonts in the right place I think:

Did the right fc-cache updates, see here:

I'm currently running Mint, so I decided to follow this protip – http://chrisacheson.net/blog/2009/03/21/how-to-get-profont-working-in-ubuntu/ and adjusted my ~/.fonts.conf:
<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<selectfont>
<acceptfont>
<pattern>
<patelt name="family"><string>ProFont</string></patelt>
<patelt name="family"><string>Terminus</string></patelt>
</pattern>
</acceptfont>
</selectfont>
</fontconfig>
And still I can't select the font in Terminator's preferences.
The font works on Terminology however.
I'm currently running Mint 17.2 Cinnamon 64bit
Edit:
After the suggestion of @Peter, I did dpkg -L xfonts-terminus and here's the result
So it looks like it's installing it in much more places than I though initially. Note that the font is not called terminus but rather an abbreviation (/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/ter-u12b_koi8-r.pcf.gz)

Why not just
apt-get install xfonts-terminus?The Terminus fonts are already available pre-packaged for Mint, see xfonts-terminus
