I updated from 13.1 to 13.2 keeping my profile and Terminus worked until the
libfreetype6 update in March 2015. And no, I explicitly select "xos4 Terminus"
in the font chooser.

Nope. Not here using 13.2. And xterm still throws the same error as in my
original report:
jan@karl:~> xterm -fa "xos4 Terminus" -fs 9
xterm: Selected font has no non-zero height for ISO-8859-1 encoding

I do not have a yast fontconfig module. And I do not find any yast2-*font*
package.
