Yeah.  It's really easy and documented.  (Please search for Terminal in
Digital Librarian; I don't know exactly where it is.)  Under 1.0, you can
set the font using "dwrite Terminal NXFixedPitchFont " and the
size using "dwrite Terminal NXFixedPitchFontSize ".  I haven't
done it, but I know that you can also preset the columns and lines that
Terminal uses by default.  Do a "strings" on the Terminal App to see ALL the
(documented and undocumented) defaults you can set.

These changes only take place for subsequent Terminals that you bring up.
