GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 303562
There is no support for changing the "DEFAULT" terminal window size.
Last modified: 2005-06-15 15:19:38 UTC
Version details: and according to #gnome on IRC all versions subsequent to 2.7.x Distribution/Version: Ubuntu Please remember that what is desired here is to change the default terminal window size. That means that no matter where you start terminal from, or how (say through third party package where you have no way to pass options to the command line), you get the default size unless something else overrides it. This means that suggestions to "set it in the menu" or "set your panel launchers" will not work especially since it won't be invoked through those mechanisms, and the invocation can be done remotely. Please also remember that this is basic UNIX functionality. THis capability has been included in every UNIX Windowing system I have used since 1983 (remember SUN-1's ? :-) ). Thats 22 years, folks. How can you leave it out? REPRODUCTION OF BUG: #1 Open a gnome terminal #2 select Edit #3 select profiles #4 select a profile #5 iterate thru every tab looking for a "size" option. #6 its not there.
not there but in preferences->fonts(?)-> terminal font Marking NOTABUG

Not sure if this closure was correct. I think this request was for the number of columns&rows .. eg 24x80, not the font size (although they are related)... larger font means larger window. NoThanks, please clarify the request instead of creating new bugs. Thanks.
Uh I should read more carefully. Indeed it is about the window not font size. Confirming bug complaint. This is rather of +serverity ENHANCEMENT Ill leave it to others to increase priority. Submitting the bug twice using a fake email address really is not in the interest of improving software.
This is a duplicate of bug 155147. I've attached a proposed patch in that bug.
thank you for spotting this Martin *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 155147 ***
