MATE has a terminal - use routinely. The web page I found explicitly used the term "terminal emulator". They are evidently minimally (if at all) related as I changed the font for "MATE terminal" and it had no effect on mc.
Richard, I assume you click on an icon to launch your terminal (emulator). How do you specify which file it should invoke and what icon should be displayed? If you right-click on the icon do you see a 'properties' option or something similar? All terminals I've used (primarily xterm and urxvt) accept command line options. Read 'man xterm' or 'man rxvt' for details. One of these options controls the font size (-fn). Here, the command for my urxvt terminals is: /usr/bin/urxvt -bg \#0b293b -fg lightgrey -sb -cr yellow -pr yellow -fn 10x20 -geometry 75x25 -ls -si -sk -sw -sr -sl 1024 -n urvxt This sets the background color, foreground (text) color, where the scrollbar is located, the cursor color, the mouse pointer color, the font size, the initial window size, and so on. I'm confident that Mate has similar capabilities. Regards, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
