Hello!

I had installed i3 recently, at first sight it looks great.

Can you help to increase font size in default terminal?

i3 is not responsible for your terminal and also doesn't define what your default terminal is. Check the manpage of your terminal emulator to see how to configure it. It depends on which one you're using.

Fresh and clean debian netinst x64. How to define which terminal emulator is used for default?

To check which terminal emulator is being currently used run: basename $(ps -f -p $(cat /proc/$(echo $$)/stat | cut -d \ -f 4) | tail -1 | sed 's/^.* //')

@Anon1234: That's quite a command!

There must be **two spaces** between 'cut -d \' and '-f 4'. Askbot`s engine reduce it to one for some reason.

In the terminal that comes with most distros you would be able to access your preferences menu which is most certainly either somewhere in the menu options on top of your terminal or entered by right clicking and selecting preferences or profile.

May I suggest you also select a nicer font than most distros include by default as well.

Some nice ones include these https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts

Previews of these fonts and many others can be found at https://www.google.com/fonts

It is usually sufficient to drop custom font dirs into ~/.fonts but follow directions for your distro
