View Full Version : Terminal font sizes screwed up

Hi!
Yesterday when i was using the terminal the font suddenly became really small.
It doesn't matter which font i use, all of them are unreadable from 8 to 16.
If i use 24 or 32 it's working, but too big for my taste. It's weird because if I try size 6 it's almost as big as 24, but it looks really messed up.

I have no idea why this happened, I think that i was checking something out in the status menu and when I turned to the terminal it was too small.

I would really appreciate some help with this, because this makes using the terminal a pain for me.

Thanks, HermitoZ

You might have used the volume buttons. They change the font size in x-terminal.

Therefore to fix your problem, increase font size with the volume button.

Is this a bug or a feature that this seems to override the font setting?

Thank you!
A simple solution I should've tried, and it explains how it happened.
It does override the font setting, apparently. I have no idea if mine is set to default or not now, but it looks ok.

Maybe it should be thought more as a feature than a bug. Though it seems that I actually found one bug when checking your problem.

If you set the font size to 6 and decrease the font size to minimum with the volume buttons the font will change to Nokia Smiley and the font size is actually larger. That bug is only temporary. Everything is back to normal settings when you increase the font size.

Yeah, that was what I meant about "if I try size 6 it's almost as big as 24".
But I'm really happy to have my Droid size 10 fonts now.
