[nzlug] All screen fonts suck, but some less so

About the only screen font I find usable is described variously in
Redhat / Fedora Core installations as

-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1 
and
-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-2

I'm not sure those are exactly the same but they're close.  I never
found a source of information explaining how they're set up.

What I'd like to know is how I'd find a Mepis package that has that
font.  (I assume any Debian family package would be suitable.)

TIA
