Ok, I have a pretty confusing situation. I've spent hours on it and gotten nowhere.
After playing with dpi settings and font sizes on a 4K laptop, I'm trying to get the perfect font that isn't too small and not too big, but that's actually an issue in both height and width. Obviously you'd think they're linked, if you change one, the other one changes too. Except, in gnome-terminal, if I choose "dejavu sans mono" size 8 with a dpi of 130, it's a bit too big. Size 7 is the right height, but exactly as wide as 8. and size 6 is more narrow but also too small (height) In other words, 8 to 7 only changes height when I'd like height and width, and going from 7 to 6 changes both but now they're too small. Ok, life is tough, move on. Except, one day, I took my font 8, typed Ctrl - , and OMG, it does the right thing, the height is as high as font 7, but the width also becomes more narrow (narrower than font 7) and is perfect, just what I want. Now, I have no idea how to get that font on purpose with gnome-terminal by saving it as a default size, and same thing with terminology, I can only get the equivalent of font 8 or 7 (although it's 12/13 in terminology) 12 is the correct height, but too wide. 11 is the correct width, but not high enough I guess gnome-terminal has some random magic that made the font narrower just like I needed it, but only with CTRL - and I can't replicate it with anything else. Here is a picture: http://marc.merlins.org/tmp/3terms.jpg top is gnome-terminal in size 7 middle is ghome-terminal in size 8 but with CTRL - aka goldylocks bottom is terminology size 11, correct width but not high enough Any idea what I can do to get terminology (or gnome-terminal) to shrink a font in width only if the height/width combined changes don't work like I need to? On the plus side, terminology gets a point for packing the fonts closer in height, so I get more lines compared to gnome-terminal for the exact same font size.
