#275566 — How to enable the fonts in xfonts-terminus?

I have a program that uses 'real' X bit-mapped fonts.  I'm running
Debian 12.  The default installation provides basic bit-mapped X fonts
but on previous systems I was using the 'terminus' bit-mapped fonts.

So, I have installed the xfonts-terminus package but the extra
terminus fonts haven't become available.

Is there some other step I need to take to make the fonts available?

Might be a resource, might be in the prefs somewhere.  What program is it?

Yes. The easiest is to restart X.

Everything else involves fun with fontconfig and/or the X font
server and/or `xset fp`

For real X11 fonts, if the package is properly done, the fun with xset
is just `xset fp rehash`.

The `xlsfonts` to see if the fonts are there without relying on the
extra layer of the program using them.

Yes, I seem to have the added terminus fonts now, what was confusing
me was that they are 72dpi so my default xlsfonts searches (which
looked for 100x100 or 75x75 fonts) didn't find them.
