I just got myself a new 27 inch monitor and it is great. I can view things at a distance. However, when I launch the terminal, I cannot read things at a distance. And I want to increase the default font-size (and maybe font-family and font-weight too) to 3em. Where can I do this? I have not found anything related under Edit > Profile Preferences. The shell is Unity.

Under Edit -> Profile preferences is where it should be.

Maybe you didn't notice the checkbox?

Untick the Use the system fixed width font and you can change the size:

  • Could you also show how to do it from the command line? I am working with Vivid server, and do not have a desktop environment installed.

  • @Thomas That's quite a different question, as this is specifically for Gnome Terminal. Could Ask a new question? askubuntu.com/questions/ask
