I love using Putty as a ssh terminal in Window. But what I don't like about it is that it doesn't allow me to change font using shortcut or a mouse. Is there a way(or plugin) to change the font size in putty using the wheel in mouse or contrl +/- key just as in other applications such as Mac Terminal, Chrome,etc?

Thanks

You can do this in the default Cygwin terminal (mintty), which incidentally is based on bits of PuTTY. – ak2 Jun 28 '12 at 14:22

No, there isn't. Fonts have to be configured before starting the session.

I don't know of any way to do it with the mouse, but you can right click on the window title and click change settings. Once there you can change the font size under window->appearance like you would before the session started. When you click apply it should affect the current session. The only other way I can think of would be go to settings before (or during) your putty session and got to window. Then you can choose to have font resize on window resize. This isn't exactly what you want (and won't help if you leave putty maximized) but it should be a little easier to change font size.

I don't change the font size, but I make Mac Terminal bigger or smaller, with the following keys: ⌘+ ⌘-
