Thanks, Jerry. I guess we're talking about different programs here. I'm in Gnome, and the terminal program is Gnome Terminal which does not seem to have any options for text size except on the command line. You're talking about kterm, which I just now tried. Your instructions worked, except I can't find a way to control the background color as in Gnome Terminal. But it is a big improvement for some purposes.
