Dear Maintainer,

The previous version of the font has no problem with an appearance in any place.
With the current version the clock on the xfce4-panel disappeared. There is only an empty space there on it's place instead of the clock itself.
Usage of another font fixes the problem. Only Terminus font insults the clock.
Also, after initial setting of the font there is no problem. But after logout/login the clock became invisible and hanging. It just hangs. No click reaction, no options dialog call reaction, only the removing from a panel of the clock works.
I've tried two different panel plugins for a clock and both of them are affected by the Terminus font. The initial setting is okay but after reload the problem appears.

What version of XFCE is this?

Does this problem occur only with clock applets?  What about terminal
emulators? Since I don't use XFCE, it would be helpful if there were
some program independent of XFCE that I could use to debug the problem.

It is Xfce 4.10 here.
This problem occurs with clock applets.
Terminus is my default font in any X terminal I use since a long time ago. No problem. I like this font in a system tray for a clock. It looks clean and nice. I use it a long time and had have no problem till now.

P.S. I'll try to test with previous version 4.35 that I found in apt cache.

Just tested with previous version 4.35. The same bug.
Btw, fontmatrix can't see the font too.

Maybe these programs are limited to scalable fonts?  When you upgraded
to the last version of xfonts-terminus did you upgrade some other
packages too?

What will happen if you install an older version of xfonts-terminus now?
For example this one:
