Where is DEC-Terminal font???

I cannot find the package that contains DEC-Terminal Font, not Terminus... I've tried using Terminus in it's stead and it's just not doin it for me... I've looked through a bunch of font packages and can't find it.

Funny thing is, it usually just installs after I've installed chromium or something else that comes packaged with the font, and it's there before I get to setting my terminal fonts. But sometimes it doesn't install because I probably missed a package or two...

Any help is appreciated.

That is very strange, evidently those packages come with xorg and I do remember installing xorg properly... I would say that I chose a different repo source but I'm fairly certain I did the same thing across two consecutive installs.

Anyway, thank you kind sir.

What do you mean they "come with xorg"?  They are separate packages and are not dependencies of anything necessary to run X (e.g., xorg-server or even xorg-xinit).  They are in the xorg group but that isn't at all necessary and is only noted as an alternative installation approach in the wiki.

My apologies, I assumed and made an ass out of you and me.
