If you are using xterm then set the font in ~/.Xdefaults and/or
~/.Xresources. For example, I have

! Set font and size: 
XTerm*faceName: DejaVu Sans Mono Book
!XTerm*faceName: Monospace
XTerm*faceSize: 10

For other settings, search the Internet for .Xdefaults .Xresources. The
particular file depends on the Linux flavor. I have both files
identical.

Hope this helps.
