Description Andreas Moog 2008-09-14 18:56:44 UTC 
Originally reported on Launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270018

The following command open two tabs in a new terminal window but seems to ignore the zoom factors

gnome-terminal --tab --zoom=3 --tab --zoom=3

gnome-terminal --tab --zoom=3 --tab

also produces two tabs with no zoom.

However, the command

gnome-terminal --tab --zoom=3

works ... producing one tab with the proper zoom factor.

Importance:
If zoom doesn't work then the whole command line aspect of gnome-terminal is not very useful since opening several tabs with a script only to have to manually fix the size is a real pain. The zoom factor is properly inherited from manually opened (ctrl-shift-t) tabs.

--zoom isn't a per-tab option at the moment, it's only applied to the first tab. I fixed that in my branch which I'm going to commit to svn soon; but it still doesn't work since it seems all tabs show the zoom factor of the tab with the biggest one even though they are set the correct factor in the code...

Works for me on git master.
