enlarge the font of the xterm

(1/2) > >>

killerbot:
anyone an idea how the font size of the text in the console (terminal) window can be enlarged ?

Miguel Gimenez:
If you ask about doing it from command line:
xterm -fa 'Monospace' -fs 14
From GUI you need to create a configuration file, see https://askubuntu.com/a/161704

the use case is, when I give presentations with CB, i can easily enlarge the font of the editor, but then we then example program runs (console application type of project, launched from within CB), then the font in the terminal is very small, and only the first rows in the audience can read it.

So wondering if it could be configured from within CB (just like the normal editor font)

killerbot:
it works when you adjust the "General Settings" :
"terminal to launch console programs:


--- Code: ---xterm  -T $TITLE -e

--- End code ---

to

--- Code: ---xterm  -fa 'Monospace' -fs 14 -T $TITLE -e

--- End code ---

Maybe it would be a nice idea to be able to select the font size (or maybe the font" in our settings windows ?

What do people think about this ?

oBFusCATed:
Won't work because we support multiple terminals and I'm sure the setting is different in all of them.
