All I needed was to escape fontFamily value:

"editor.fontFamily": "Terminus \\(TTF\\)",
"editor.fontSize": 16,

The answer of @broadband and the comment by @FlorianCastellane both didn't work for me using VSCode 1.30 and later.

I have found out that font names can be written within single quotes which in the end enabled Terminus for me.

"editor.fontFamily" : "'Terminus (TTF) for Windows', Consolas"

For me (under Linux) as well as installing the TTF version of the font, I also had to adjust the line height as the lines were spaced too far apart:

"editor.fontFamily": "'Terminus (TTF)', 'Droid Sans Mono', monospace",
"editor.fontSize": 16,
"editor.lineHeight": 18,
