Yes, this is caused by the recent qtubuntu change where we now correctly provide the QScreen physical size.
But the font size is correct. I just measured it with a ruler on my Nexus 4. I set the terminal font size to 10 (via the apps configuration GUI) and the text height is around 3 mm. Which matches with my expectation if the size is being set in points. One point is ~ 0.35mm. So a 10 points font would have text of height around 3.5 mm. Before that change, QScreen was defaulting to 100 dpi when calculating its physical size, which is way lower than the 318 of Nexus 4. So yes, I would expect text sizes in points (as opposed to pixels) to get 3 times bigger after that qtubuntu fix. So the fix for this bug is to have ubuntu-terminal-app to size its VT font in pixels and to factor in grid units when doing to. The whole UI is measured in grid units and ubuntu-terminal-app's VT font should be not exception to that. But if you do insist in having the VT font size in a physical unit (ie, point size) then please do provide a broader range of values in that slider. ** Changed in: qtubuntu (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Invalid ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to qtubuntu in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1514519 Title: Font in Terminal is incorrectly massive since recent update Status in Canonical System Image: Confirmed Status in logviewer: New Status in Ubuntu Terminal App: New Status in qtubuntu package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Last know good image: 166 Changes on 167: http://people.canonical.com/~lzemczak/landing-team/ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/167.commitlog Landing request for Unity8/Mir: https://requests.ci-train.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/564 After updating my Nexus 4 and Krillin over the weekend I notice the terminal now has really huge text. Even dialling down the font size in the app to 8pt results in huge unusable text.
