Something has happened to my Terminal.app, somehow the window has got impossibly small. All I can do is hit the close button, because that is the extent of the window, (I can't grab the resize handle. It is really tiny about 25pixels wider, and about 50pixels taller than the close button). I have tried resetting the window size in the app, I have tried changing the window size settings in the 'com.apple.Terminal.plist' file (in my uses folder, is there a 'master' plist?) I have even tried using the plist and terminal.app from another Mac.
Anybody else got any ideas where this window size may be set, as at the moment the app is useless.

What about if you just throw the com.apple.Terminal.plist file away? Does this happen in other user accounts on the same machine?

Thnks, I have just tried trashing the file, still no change .Don't have multiple accounts set up (Root login isn't enabled ether).
Here is a pic to show the problem.

I said it was tiny.

This is a font problem that has been documented on macosxhints.

Thanks for that.
Monaco is usually Auto Activated by Suitcase, but I didn't have it running. I have put a copy in /Library/fonts So the problem doesn't arise again.

Monaco lives in /System, so you've broken your OS if it isn't there or is deactivated. Don't let your font management utilities disable anything in /System; only control stuff in /Library or ~/Library.

That's happened to me too. It was caused by me disabling the font by mistake in Font Book.
