Selecting the Font and Terminal Window Size

The font used in the terminal window can be selected using the Font page of the Settings dialog. On the same page, you can also select if the size of the terminal window is fixed or adjusted automatically according to the font size.

Font

You can select the font to be used and its size. The new font settings affect the terminal window immediately when you click OK. To discard the changes, click Cancel.

Font Name

Select the desired font from the Font Name list. The list displays the non-proportional (fixed-width) fonts installed in your local computer. Note that proportional fonts are not suitable for the terminal window and therefore are not available for selection.

Font Size

Select the desired font size from the Font Size list. Note that the font size affects the size of the terminal window: the smaller the selected font, the smaller the terminal window. However, after changing the font size, the size of the terminal window can be modified, but the font size remains the selected one.

Fixed terminal window size

The size of the SSH Tectia Terminal can be defined as fixed. By default, the terminal size is not fixed but adjusted according to the font size. The changes made to the fixed terminal window size setting become effective immediately when you click OK. To discard the changes, click Cancel.

Fix terminal window size and adjust font size automatically

Select this checkbox to use fixed terminal window size. You can define the width and the height of the window. The font size is then adjusted automatically to fit the window, and the font size selection becomes inactive, but you can still select the used font.

Width

Define the width of the fixed-size terminal window, in characters. The program suggests 80 characters by default.

Height

Define the height of the fixed-size terminal window, in characters. The program suggests 24 characters by default.
