Thanks, that first sure looks like it should be the one.  When I
searched with `eix' looking for dec a couple days ago... I somehow,
probably thru operator error, did not uncover it ... although I easily
find it now.

There must be some other problems

I happened to have checked the output of xlsfonts|wc -l, which showed
  1513
before installing both of those above.

Once they were installed I do not find any dec-terminal fonts but also
`xlsfonts|wc -l' still shows 1513

I thought I had noticed that count staying the same earlier when I
installed the pkg thelma mentioned; but never verified before and
after like I did now.

  qlist font-dec-misc
  /usr/share/doc/font-dec-misc-1.0.3/ChangeLog.bz2
  /usr/share/fonts/misc/decsess.pcf.gz
  /usr/share/fonts/misc/deccurs.pcf.gz

And terminus-font has too many files to list here
  qlist terminus-font|wc -l
   288

Surely the number recorded in xlsfonts should rise eh?

PS - For the record eix showed neither package you posted to be
installed prior to the installations I performed a few minutes ago,
yet no increase in number of fonts....

Am I wrong to expect xslfonts to show what I have installed?
