Terminal Characters overlap each other on changing font

English Applications
#1

Hi,
I am using opensuse 13.2 and the issue is with all the terminal emulators I installed. Firstly i thought there is some issue with the GNOME terminal but later when I installed other terminal emulators like tilda same thing is happening.

The issue is when ever I am changing my terminals font from Edit -> Profile Preferences and click on custom check box to select some other font or even increase just the font size then terminal characters get weirdly aligned. Things like character overlapping, uneven spacing between characters happens. Here is a screen shot below:

Any help regarding this will be appreciated.

Thanks
Satyam

It looks like you are not using fixed width fonts. You should, for
things like a terminal.

Don’t know how exactly to use fixed width fonts but from tweak tool in FONTS tab there were following options:
Window Tiles
Interface
Documents
Monospace
Hinting
Antialiasing
Scaling factor

So, if I select some font from the combobox in front of Monospace label then terminal font is applying properly.

But I was thinking if I can adjust it from the terminal preferences only, can that be done.

Edit - Profile preferences, choose a monospaced font (general tab)
