RPi4B with VNC, how to reduce terminal font size?

[Bosse_B]

When I use the desktop of the RPi4 via VNC and start a terminal session the font inside it is ridiculously BIG so my command lines do not fit when I have navigated a bit into the dir structure.
Is there any way to set a small font for Terminal such that it becomes usable?
I cannot find anything...

Don't know but an alternative would be to select Edit then zoom out until your happy with the size

The default terminal in Raspbian is LXTerminal, and you can change the font and font size under Edit > Preferences.

Thanks a bunch!
I am so used to terminals having no menus that I did not even look there...
Now I have "Monospace Regular" size 10 and I am much more comfortable with this.

JFI The default font on all my Pi is Monospace Regular 10 so I think something must have changed yours sometime in the past

Another option is to change the prompt when deep in a directory structure, makes things far easier to read. Changing back is easy too.

Code: Select all

Original:
pi@pi-3bp-1:/etc/samba/tls $ 

Change it:
pi@pi-3bp-1:/etc/samba/tls $ PS1="\u@\h-->"

New:
pi@pi-3bp-1-->

Change back:
pi@pi-3bp-1-->source ~/.bashrc

Original again:
pi@pi-3bp-1:/etc/samba/tls $
