Comment (by axeld):

 IIRC we restricted the font size for the main fonts since the layout API
 wasn't used everywhere yet, but there is at least no technical reason to
 restrict the Terminal.

 It would be nice to have some kind of common method to select a font size,
 though. The current pull down menu approach is a bit restricted, a slider
 might be too inconvenient in order to set the standard sizes. Maybe have a
 slider as the last menu item. IIRC John Scipione wanted to work on such a
 thing for the icon sizes in Tracker -- maybe that work could be reused
 here.
