[Request] Patch for terminus-font

Terminus is best monospace font in known universe, but nothing is perfect. I'd like to see "dv" patch applied - it drastically improves readability.

It changes only 2 chars and doesn't interfere with anything else:

Patched PKGBUILD:

# Maintainer: Vesa Kaihlavirta <vegai@iki.fi>
# Contributor: Kristoffer Fossgrd <kfs1@online.no>
arch=(i686 x86_64)
pkgname=terminus-font
pkgver=4.20
pkgrel=3
pkgdesc="A superb, monospace bitmap font (for X11 and console)"
depends=(xorg-fonts-encodings xorg-fonts-alias xorg-font-utils fontconfig)

build() { 
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  patch -Np1 < ../$pkgname-$pkgver-dv1.diff
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --x11dir=/usr/share/fonts/local/ --psfdir=/usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

Re: [Request] Patch for terminus-font

It would be very nice. Cyr terminus without patches it is not correct
