Actually the fonts-hack package doesn't exist here.
I do find, however:
fonts-hack-otf - Typeface designed for source code, OpenType fonts
fonts-hack-ttf - Typeface designed for source code, TrueType fonts
fonts-hack-web - Typeface designed for source code, Web fonts
fonts-go is good to go, though.
I'm personally using andale in an xterm and have no problems
distinguishing between the l as in Louise and the 1 as in wonderful.
(I must've installed the Microsoft ttf core fonts quite a while back,
because my memory of that event is vague. I was unaware of the existence
of fonts-hack* until a moment ago.)
