[SOLVED]Terminus Font missing

For some reason, my terminus font does not show up anywhere in the system but it is actually installed.

[wudaown:~]->>> pacman -Qq | grep terminus
terminus-font
terminus-font-ttf
[wudaown:~]->>> fc-list | grep erminus
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/TerminusTTF-Bold Italic.ttf: Terminus (TTF):style=Bold Italic
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/TerminusTTF-Bold.ttf: Terminus (TTF):style=Bold
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/TerminusTTF-Italic.ttf: Terminus (TTF):style=Italic
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/TerminusTTF.ttf: Terminus (TTF):style=Medium

I am expecting to see some output like xos4 terminus.

Thanks !

Is it not fixed with freetype2 2.8-2?
Edit:
That does not apply as you are not using terminus-font 4.40-3 which uses pcf based font files but a ttf font of unknown origin so the name should always have been Terminus for the ttf version.

Actually your original post help me. I edit the 75-yes-terminus.conf file and append xos4 and it work!

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<!-- Accept terminus font -->
 <selectfont>
  <acceptfont>
   <pattern>
     <patelt name="family"><string>xos4 Terminus</string></patelt>
   </pattern>
  </acceptfont>
 </selectfont>
</fontconfig>

Thanks !

"fc-list | grep ter-"?

sudo fc-cache -rvf | grep -iC 5 "ter-"
