[Solved] apt-get install xfonts-jmk. Now, how do I use Neep in my terminal?

Neep is installed, but does not appear in my menus.
Manually setting font name to Neep 10 in the terminalrc file doesn't work.
When I installed Terminus, everything worked automatically.

It's a Debian issue. Found the answer at http://eqldata.com/blog/

xfonts-jmk under Debian

Holy mother of God.

If you want to install xfonts-jmk, notable for its wonderful Neep (and my personal preference, "Neep Alt") fonts, under Debian, and actually have these fonts available to use in your Gnome/X applications, or say, from the Preferences -> Appearance -> Fonts menu, *don't just sit there scratching your ass wondering why everything you've done seems right, but fontconfig and friends just don't recognize and pick up the fucking font*.

dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config

(yes, that -config at the end is intentional).

*ENABLE BITMAPPED FONTS*. Really, I can't believe they disabled this by default. Holy gods, Debian, I swear to god I'm going to kill someone.

Then, a mere:

dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig
fc-cache -fv
xset fp rehash

and you're done.

I can't believe I need to do this shit in the 21st Century.

AMEN, Lukasz!
