Hi,

When gnome-terminal is open (at, say 80x25 chars) and a new tab is
opened, the new tab has the same dimensions (80x25) but with the default
font size instead of the one of the old tab.  This resizes the window,
which is annoying.  It does not accomodate the usual reasons to change
the font size (which are either to cram more lines into a small space,
or to get better readability).

I think new tabs should inherit the font settings from the previous tab.
Note that new tabs already inherit other things, for example the
dimension (number of rows and columns) and the current working
directory, so this would also make it more consistent.

Even if this were a controversial change, it could still be implemented
as an option.

Best,
