mkfontdir пришлось запустить, но не помогло!
# grep terminus /var/log/XFree86.1.log
(WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/share/fonts/bitmap/terminus".
(Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/share/fonts/bitmap/terminus").
# grep terminus /var/log/XFree86.2.log
(**) FontPath set to "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc,/usr/share/fonts/bitmap/terminus"
