[SOLVED] Fonts in the terminal

I've been googling for fonts in my terminals (urxvt and xterm) i like 'Terminus' but can't make it work, is there an easy way, is there 'fontsel' to choose fonts?

Re: [SOLVED] Fonts in the terminal

You probably didn't take the hint that pacman gave you when you installed terminus: You have to update the xorg fonthpath yoursef. You can add something like:

Section "Files"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/local/"
EndSection

to your xorg.conf. If you don't want to restart X, then you can use xset to add the path to your fontpath at runtime. After that simply use xfontsel to make a valid fontline for terminus.
