I did not have to do anything special on my Raspbian in
addition to intalling the package `xfonts-terminus'.
Raspbian uses the LXDE desckop environment.  May be you are
using an inferrior desktop that does not support raster
fonts and insists on blurry vector fonts?  If so, consider
these pixel-perfect reproductions of raster fonts in the TTF
format:  https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/  .
