I found a setting in the GNOME desktop called "Font Preferences". In this menu, there is an option to change the DPI of the fonts used in GNOME, including the fonts of the terminal windows. The strange thing is that when I modify the dpi, the only fonts that actually change in size are the ones in my local desktop. Nothing happens to the fonts in my VNC desktop. This is even the case if I access the "Font Preferences" menu from within the VNC session. It only modifies the font sizes in the local desktop. Nothing changes in the actual VNC session.
