How to change Terminal Font

Question

How do i change the terminal font?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Bash terminal:

Menu, Edit => Profile Preferences => General tab; uncheck Use the system fixed width font, and select the font you want.

For general xterm terminal, you need to create a file ~/.Xresources, and add settings to it, such as xterm*font: Sublime\ Text\ 2-12 for 12 point (this is a guess, I don't know if it's totally correct).

Answer 2

Though, You did not mention what font you are using or what terminal you are referring, I am giving a general answer to change font in gnome-terminal.

I am giving two way to do this, though both are relatively close to each other

Formal way

• Open the terminal with Pressing CTRL + ATL + T.
• Then go from Menu → Edit → Profiles. On the profile edit window, Click on Edit button.
• Then in the General Tab, Uncheck Use the system fixed width font, and then select your desired font from dropdown menu

Easier way

• Open the terminal with pressing CTRL + ATL + T.
• Right click on the terminal, from the appeared popup menu, go to Profiles → Profile Preferences
• Then in the General Tab, Uncheck Use the system fixed width font, and then select your desired font from dropdown menu.
