Terminus is a "funny" font.  It is distributed both as the traditional

In any case it is not TTF (True Type Font) or OTF (Open Type Font).  It
is an X bitmap font.

 
There is a Terminus TTF font, as well. There's 5 different terminus font
packages in Debian Sid.  I just installed them all, and see this:
 
$ find  /usr/share/fonts/ -iname "*terminus*"
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/terminus
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/terminus/TerminusTTF-4.46.0.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/opentype/terminus
/usr/share/fonts/opentype/terminus/terminus-bold.otb
/usr/share/fonts/opentype/terminus/terminus-normal.otb
/usr/share/fonts/opentype/terminus/terminus-bold-oblique.otb
/usr/share/fonts/opentype/terminus/terminus-oblique.otb
 
Not sure which package installed the TTF version (the otb was the only
one installed until now).

apt-file(1) is your friend. :)

$ apt-file search /usr/share/fonts/truetype/terminus/TerminusTTF-4.46.0.ttf
fonts-terminus: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/terminus/TerminusTTF-4.46.0.ttf

$ apt-file search /usr/share/fonts/opentype/terminus/terminus-bold.otb
fonts-terminus-otb: /usr/share/fonts/opentype/terminus/terminus-bold.otb
