[Nix-dev] Terminus console font

Good day.

I'm not a huge fan of X server, that why I'm spending my time inside a 
tty and virtual terminals. Default fonts that NixOS offers are not 
perfectly suite my eyes that why I'm looking for a way to use terminus 
font there.

I.e. in Gentoo OS there is a `consoleFont` variable which could be set 
to "ter-116n" value to get terminus in Xless console. I'm trying to do 
the same via setting `i18n.consoleFont = "ter-116n"`([1]) , but it do 
nothing.

Also as you see `pkgs.terminus_font` is added to the `fonts.fonts` 
statement, that why I'm assuming terminus font is installed in my system.

have you guys achieved it? What am I doing wrong?
