As of version 1.44, pango no longer supports bitmap fonts other than
in Opentype format. So, without the OTB format, you cannot use terminus in pango
enabled apps (most x apps).
The package already has a separate output for pcf-8bit, so I decided to
make a separate output for the OTB format. Which might make sense for users
without x/wayland environments.
