Ubuntu – How to permanently change the text size for gnome-terminal

11.04command linegnome-terminal

I just wanted to ask…

It seems that you need to press Ctrl + - (ctrl plus the minus sign) in order to get better resolution (smaller text) when running terminal.

But I was wondering if there was a way to do keep the settings this way, so that whenever you start up the terminal it will already be performing in higher resolution?

Best Answer

You can manually set the size of the text in a terminal by :

opening a terminal
Edit -> Profile Preferences
select Custom font (or unselect Use the system fixed width font in older versions)
Choose your font and size

You can also choose the size of the terminal by selecting Use custom default terminal size and setting a number of rows and columns.

Use the absolute paths of all three files involved. It'll make for one hell of a one liner, but it should do it. E. g.:

cat /path/to/liveandroidv0.3.iso.001 /path/to/liveandroidv0.3.iso.002 > /path/to/liveandroidv0.3.iso
