I believe most people still know too much about this knowledge, so share this article for your reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Use GUI to change the font and size of the terminal of Ubuntu

Step 1. Open the terminal window in Ubuntu by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T.

Step 2. Open the terminal preferences Preferences. You can click the menu button to find it.

You can also right-click anywhere on the terminal screen to access the preferences, as shown in the following figure.

Step 3. You should now be able to access the settings for the terminal. By default, there will be an unnamed configuration file here. This is the default profile. I suggest creating a new configuration file so that your changes will not affect the default settings.

Step 4. To change the font, you need to enable the "custom font Custom font" option, and then click "Monospace Regular".

It will display a list of available fonts for this option.

Here, you can quickly preview fonts at the bottom of the font list, or you can adjust the font size of your Ubuntu terminal.

By default, the font size is 12 and the font style is Ubuntu mono.

Step 5. Finally, you can also search for your favorite font style, and after viewing the preview and resizing the font, click "Select Select" to change the font.

That's the whole process. You have successfully changed the font. View the changes in the image below. Move the transfer to see the difference.

Get tips for new fonts for Ubuntu terminals

You can download font files in TTF format from the Internet, and right-clicking these TTF files can easily install these new fonts in Ubuntu.

You can open a new terminal window to load the newly installed fonts.

Keep in mind, however, that Ubuntu does not display all newly installed fonts in the terminal. Why? Because the terminal has been assigned to use monospaced fonts. If the letters in the font are very close to each other, it looks weird. Some fonts do not clearly distinguish between the letter "o" and the number "0". Similarly, you may have the difficulty of distinguishing between the lowercase letter "l" and the lowercase letter "I".

This is why the font you see in the terminal usually has the word "mono" in its name.

In general, there may be a lot of readability problems with fonts, which may lead to more confusion. Therefore, it is best to choose a font that does not make it difficult to read on the terminal.

You should also check whether the font looks good / weird during your increase / decrease in font size to make sure there is no problem when you customize your terminal.

Font recommendations for terminal customization

Free mono and Noto mono are some of the good fonts available in the default font selection list that can be applied to your terminal.

You can try to install new fonts in Linux, such as JetBrains Mono, Robo Mono, Larabiefont, Share Tech Mono, and fonts from Google and other sources.
