It would be very useful if the user could choose the font and font size through a command-line option. Any chance this can be implemented?

I can currently create a Terminal instance within which to run a specific program, for instance to tail a log file. Through command-line options I can set the geometry, make it borderless and toolbarless, and change the icon. I would like to also change the font (without it changing in my normal Terminal instances).

If this cannot be accomplished through command-line options, is there any other way of accomplishing this?

Many thanks,
Rich
