Sizes: 6x12, 8x14, 8x16, 10x18, 10x20, 11x22, 12x24, 14x28 and 16x32.
Weights: normal and bold (except for 6x12), plus CRT VGA-bold for 8x14 and 8x16.

Changes

Version 4.49.1:

• Fixed install-otb and uninstall-otb to use otbdir instead of x11dir.

• A few small character fixes.
• Altered configure to be a bit more POSIX compliant.
• Replaced some obscure (un)install Makefile targets with variables.

Version 4.39:

• Added ballot, checkmark, heavy ballot and heavy checkmark.
• Changed HT, LF etc. in sizes 14 and 18-hi2 to be proportional to the letter height, not the matrix height.

• Small improvements in size 32.

• Added new ll2 variant with more distinctive l.
• Added quotereversed (201B), quotedblreversed (201F), I/i/U/u dotbelow (1ECA, 1ECB, 1EE4, 1EE5).
• Moved all quotes and alike in size 32 one line down.
• Small fixes and improvements (t commaaccent, quotes alignment etc. in some sizes).
• Windows installation: creates the relevant registry key.

Version 4.35:

• Added hi2 variant for size 18.
• Fixes in size 18: normal V, normal W, bold X, H stroke, some pseudographic characters and the *NIX installation.

Version 4.34: (removed due to bugs)

• Added size 10x18.
• Small fixes and improvements in section, multiply, Eng, eng, Dje, dje, house, male, infinity, zeta and various other characters in the different sizes.
• The default cyrillic ghe is now ge1, with ge2 available as variant.

Version 4.32:

• Slightly more distintive normal M and W.
• Rounded 28-bold, 32-normal, 32-bold.
  Also removed the 32-normal kx2 style.
• Small changes: Che/che stroke, phi, Zhe/zhe etc.
• Linux console: the default bold is now framebuffer.
• Smaller Makefile, GNU make required.
• Changed the font license to SIL OFL 1.1.
  It's FSF approved, no need to worry.
• And, as you can see, Terminus Font is now on sourceforge.

Version 4.30:

• Added size 22 (not very good).
• Added another 25 characters.
• Various small fixes and improvements.
• Changed the default prefix and x11dir.

Version 4.28:

• Heavy frames (written mostly by Tim Allen) and a few more letters.
• Altered trianges and arrows, small bugfixes.
• Reorganized the 512-character console font to include more letters instead of the IBM-437 specific pseudographics.

Character variants

ao1 => ao2 - nice, but sometimes hard to distinguish from 'o'.

dv2 => dv1 - due to character matrix limitations, the printing de and ve are of slightly worse quality.

ge1 => ge2 - only for 0433, 0453 and 0491, not 0493 and 0495

gq1 => gq2 - some programs still use ` and ' as single quotes.

ij2 => ij1 (also short i)

ka1 => ka2 - the high cyrillic ka is used as decorative in Bulgaria; the latin 'k' is always high, of course.

ll1 => ll2 - should pass the il1I test (depends on your resolution and monitor quality), but the horizontal alignment is a bit worse.

td2 => td1 - perhaps td1 should be the default

hi1 => hi2 - higher upper case letters, digits etc. for size 18 - looks better, but there is even less space between the lines.

br2 => br1 - a bit more similar to Braille. X11 only, no Windows code page includes unicode range 2800-28FF.

Frequently asked questions:

Q. Italic version?

A. No. The quality is significantly lower, and preserving the font width requires overlapping characters, which are not handled very well by X11/Xft. Anyway, the modern GUIs support automatic slanting; if you are not satisfied with it, try mkitalic from FreeBSD or bdfslant from Debian.

Q. Scalable version?

A. Long story short, when the average display resolution becomes at least 150 DPI. Prefferably 200.

Q. How about some new characters?

A. Contact me and be ready to help.

Q. The bold 6x12 font...

A. ...does not exist, there is no space for a bold font in a 6x12 matrix. However, the "normal" font is somewhere between.

Q. The font works in X11/Motif, but not in GNOME/KDE/Xfce.

A. Try adding 75-yes-terminus.conf to the Fontconfig configuration files. See also: mkfontscale(1), mkfontdir(1), fc-cache(1), xorg.conf(5), xfs(1), xlsfonts(1), fonts-conf(5) etc.

Q. The Windows executable contains a virus!

A. With millions of Windows threats (at least signatures), and 40+ different scanners, the false positives are not rare. The executable is a valid zip archive, so you can open it and extract terminus.fon instead of running the installer. Or you can check it at Jotti Virusscan, VirusTotal etc.
