Hi,
I have installed terminus-font-ttf from the AUR, but
FONT=Terminus (TTF) in /etc/vconsole.conf do not work,
what should I do?

vconsole.conf uses kbd to set the console font.  It does not support TTFs (TrueType Fonts).
Are you trying to configure a terminal instead of the console or did you configure an alternative console solution such as fbterm or KMSCON?

If you want terminus in the console, why did you install an AUR package?  The terminus-font package in community would work in the console, the TTF version from the AUR, as noted above, will not.
