Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install terminus-fonts on CentOS 8.

What is terminus-fonts

The Terminus Font is designed for long (8 and more hours per day) work with computers. It covers about 120 language sets and supports ISO8859-1/2/5/7/9/13/15/16, Paratype-PT154/PT254, KOI8-R/U/E/F, Esperanto, and many IBM, Windows and Macintosh code pages, as well as the IBM VGA, vt100 and xterm pseudo graphic characters. The sizes present are 6x12, 8x14, 8x16, 10x20, 11x22, 12x24, 14x28 and 16x32. The styles are normal and bold (except for 6x12), plus EGA/VGA-bold for 8x14 and 8x16. The font is available for the Linux console and for X11. This package contains the OpenType bitmap fonts to use with X11 and Wayland on Fedora 31 and later, and also the legacy X11 PCF bitmap fonts for compatibility with older software.
