[Tex/LaTex] Terminus with fontspec in XeTeX

fontsfontspecxetex

When using \setmonofont with fontspec in XeTeX, I wonder what fonts (or type faces) I can use.

fc-list yields among others:

Terminus:style=Bold
Terminus:style=Regular

So I tried this:

\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmonofont[Mapping=tex-text]{Terminus}
[...]
\testtt{monospace text}

I get the error:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!
! fontspec error: "font-not-found"
! 
! The font "Terminus" cannot be found.
! 
! See the fontspec documentation for further information.
! 
! For immediate help type H <return>.
!...............................................

Now, which fonts can I use?

Is there a way to list them, or something? Incidentally, is there a way how I could use Terminus in XeTeX for monospaced text?

Best Answer

Bitmap fonts are not supported by XeTeX/LuaTeX. To list outline fonts only, try:

fc-list :outline -f "%{family}\n"

There is also a TTF version of Terminus, though it seems outdated.
