Set Terminal font to size 22

When you have that Terminal font size window open and see no direct input field to specify 22, drag the lower right corner of the Font window to expand it and reveal the direct entry field. Double-click to select 18, type 22, and press return. When you quit and launch Terminal again, that 22 pt font size remains.

The Terminal window will also be larger than when viewed with an 18 pt font.

Does anyone know how to set the Terminal font to size 20 or 22? The selector only offer 18 and then 24, which are too small and large respectively. I looked around in s Preferences plist file but didn't find it.

Do different font options offer different font sizes....make a change and compare your results.

Command +

Command-

Command 0 default

can increase and decrease the size independent of those preference. This is Universal for all application windows on the Mac.

That doesn't work, it only temporarily adjusts the font size in the current viewport, in addition to the size of the box. What I want to do is set the numbers to some intermediate size, because 18 is too small and 24 is too big..

The short answer is, it's not possible.

Yes. Click on the font you want. It doesn't matter what point size it starts out on. Move to the top of the list of points sizes and type in any number you want.

I'm pretty sure that the font sizes are regulated by the actual font type itself. Try different fonts to achieve 22.

Oops. I was mistaken. Viking & Kurt have the correct answer.
