If it is about terminals you can edit ~/.Xdefaults.
This is what I have for the urxvt terminal:

URxvt*font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:pixelsize=18:antialias=true:hinting=true
URxvt*boldFont: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:bold:pixelsize=18:antialias=true:hinting=true
URxvt*italicFont: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:italic:pixelsize=18:antialias=true:hinting=true
URxvt*bolditalicFont: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:bold:italic:pixelsize=18:antialias=true:hinting=true

I hope that this is what you are looking for.

Kind regards,
Christoph
