Any help, please?
If you're using gnome, then you can probably start a gnome-terminal, set it up how you like it and log out with the "Save current setup" checkbox ticked. Next time you log in Gnome should have restored it to the way you had it. If you're old-skool like me and using a straight xterm though, you can set the font with the -fn command line option (use xfontsel to find the name of the font you need) -- you'll be able to specify the font size there. I don't know a way to maximise windows from the cmd line, but the -geometry flag can probably be persuaded to do something close to what you want to do. Then, you just put this command that you've constructed into your session. So, running gnome-session-properties, or putting it in your .xsession or something. It depends on what sort of desktop you're using.
