I'm using UXterm. This is my .Xresources:
UXTerm*eightBitInput: false
UXTerm*metaSendsEscape: true
UXTerm*reverseVideo: true
UXTerm*bellIsUrgent: true
UXTerm*faceName: Terminus
UXTerm*faceSize: 7
Neither community/terminus-font nor aur/terminus-font-ttf are installed. This is what happens when I look for files named "Terminus" on my system:
danilo@t410:~$ locate Terminus
/usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/Lat2-Terminus16.psfu.gz
/usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/README.Lat2-Terminus16
The problem is that I'd like to patch the currently used font for Powerline, but don't know which font I'm using. I always thought I was using Terminus, but if you look at the shapes of the lowercase L character, you see that this isn't Terminus:
Another difference can be seen in the N character:
Here are Terminus screenshots for comparison: http://terminus-font.sourceforge.net/shots.html
When I remove the "UXTerm*faceName: Terminus" line from my .Xresources, the font changes and looks like this:
So the line clearly does have an effect. Something else I discovered was that if I ctrl-rightclick in the terminal and remove the checkmark next to "TrueType fonts", the font immediately changes and looks like the last screenshot above.
So apparently adding the "UXTerm*faceName: Terminus" line to .Xresources makes UXterm switch to some true type font which is not Terminus.
Is there a way to find out which true type font is currently loaded in UXterm?

The default TrueType font for xterm and its variants is set to use the font matching the name 'mono'. Check with:
$ fc-match mono
It is most likely DejaVu Sans Mono.
The bitmap fonts selectable from the Unicode Fonts menu are specified in '/usr/share/X11/app-defaults/UXTerm'. "Default" is given as:
*VT100.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1
Other than the ISO encoding, this is the same font as 'fixed' and '6x13'.

Thanks a lot, you were right!
danilo@t410:~$ fc-match mono
DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book"

The true type font is Dejavu Sans Mono. The bitmap one in your screenshot is Fixed.
