Fonts are located in directories /usr/share/fonts/ and ~/.fonts/.

List all fonts, pick the ones for the terminal:

fc-list | sort | grep -i mono

See how a font looks in the current console (use the font name, not the file name):

printf '\e]710;%s\007' "Ubuntu Mono:pixelsize=16"

Edit .Xresources to apply the font for your terminal (say, urxvt):

URxvt*font: xft:Ubuntu Mono:pixelsize=16

Reload the resources:

xrdb ~/.Xresources
