如何在Linux中安装字体以便xterm可以使用？

我今天遇到了 a question,要求提供良好的Linux xterm字体,答案显示一个名为Terminus的答案.我一直在寻找一种新的终端字体,所以我 downloaded it(BTW,我正在运行Ubuntu Intrepid)并阅读自述文件：

1.1. Quick installation.
The commands:
  $./configure [--prefix=PREFIX]
  $make
  # make install
compile and install the Linux console and X11 Window System fonts,and
  # make fontdir
updates fonts.dir for X11 (if you don't know what fonts.dir is,execute the
command).

1.2. Legend.    
The file names are structured as follows: ter-u<SIZE><STYLE>.bdf    
where <SIZE> is 12,14,16,20,24,28 or 32,and <STYLE> is n for normal
(all sizes),b for bold (all sizes except 6x12) and v for EGA/VGA bold (8x14
and 8x16 only,makes use of the eight character matrix column).

所以我跑了：

$./configure
$make
$sudo make install
$sudo make fontdir

…我重新启动X11只是为了确定,新的字体无处可寻：

$xterm -font ter-u14n
xterm:  unable to open font "ter-u14n",trying "fixed"....

叹.回到自述文件.在这个文件的后面,我看到：

4. X11 Window System.
4.1. Installation.

$./configure [--prefix=PREFIX | --x11dir=DIRECTORY]
$make pcf
# make install-pcf

好吧,我知道“xterm -font 8×16”有效,所以我运行“locate 8×16”并看到这个字体似乎存在于/usr/share / fonts / X11 / misc中,所以这似乎是一个很好的-x11dir到使用.所以我跑了：

$./configure --x11dir=/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc
$make pcf
$make install-pcf
$sudo make fontdir

…我再次重新启动X11,甚至我的整台计算机都是好的措施,我甚至证实现在有一堆文件,比如/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/ter-u14n.pcf.gz在我的系统上,但仍然：

$xterm -font ter-u14n
xterm:  unable to open font "ter-u14n",trying "fixed"....

为了让这个字体与xterm一起工作,我必须执行什么神奇的咒语？

apt-get install xfonts-terminus xfonts-terminus-oblique
