cout - terminal font size ?
JulyJim:
This is embarrassing, people asked this before and were referred to SYSTEM CMD!
Apparently C::B standard C++ "console " / output (cout) is "terminal" - not really spelled out somewhere as such. Or I missed it.
OK , window would make more sense in GUI IDE, but...
With all the menus I cannot find HOW to change the terminal font size.
The OS terminal font is fine , adjusted that when I started using Ubuntu so I don't even remember how I did it.
Must have been easy to spot.
Can I get some help with adjusting terminal font size when used as output by C:B?
And for clarity NOT the system terminal font size,
Thanks for your time.
BlueHazzard:
1) cout streams to the standard output streams. What the OS does with this stream is left to him.
2) You can use multiple targets for the stream (at least on unix. On widnows it is a bit difficult, but possible)
3) What OS are you using? If you tell us this, we maybe can redirect you to more information. Codeblocks has NO influence on the terminal size. You only can change the terminal...

Apparently "terminal" is not identified as Linux app, my mistake.
So when I invoke "terminal" by itself why is the font size different than when used by C:B (GCC) as output?
If what you are saying is correct - the font (size) should be same irregardless which way it is invoked - determined by OS ( Linux / Ubuntu) system setting.

Not really, you wrote that you are on Ubuntu.

Only if it is the same terminal(-emulator).
The default is xterm on linux (try it directly and you will see) and you can change it in "Settings -> Environment -> General settings -> Terminal to launch.." .
And this or vey similar questions have been asked a lot in the forum.

Digging thru ancient and in this case incorrect thread did not help.
If it is so hard for you to answer - just don't. Problem solved.
Yes, found out that "terminal" is very generic, the default C:D is XTerm and it is a snap to change the font size once you know it is XTerm.
To be fair - forum helped about 50% thanks.
I shall avoid asking again until I am 100% sure it has not been asked before.
