I tend to use the most native terminal for the Environment in which I am
working. If that is something like XFCE, then I use the XFCE Terminal, if
KDE, then I use Konsole, if something like MaXX or Mwm, then I use the
xterm(1). The only one on which I really both to adjust the fonts is the
xterm, where they are almost always a little too small. I usually use
something around a 10 point font. I like to keep my terminal width
constant to about 80 columns, but I will scale the height up and down
depending on the task at hand. As I almost never edit directly in the
terminal, I don't care so much about that.
The reason I don't usually adjust the fonts explicitly is because I set
default fonts in my environment that suits. Usually this is something like
the Luxi family of fonts at 10 points. I don't know what DPI my monitor is
at though, but I am running 1680x1050.
