How to make Font size equal to 15 in Terminal on Mac OS X Yosemite?

Question

Here are the configuration settings for the Terminal app in Yosemite.

It shows that I can set font size to the distinct values given in Terminal. How can I set it to some other in-between value like in my case, I want to set it to "15"?

My two cents - try iterm2. If there isn't any particular reason for sticking to Terminal - use iterm2. — mspasov, Aug 02 '15 at 14:31

Here is what I did in OS X Yosemite 10.10.4.

Terminal (menu) > Preferences... > Settings > Select the target Profile > Text > Change... (button)

This brought up the Fonts window shown in the image below.

I then resized the Fonts dialog box vertically until the Size text window appeared and entered 15, as shown in the image below.

It would be lovely if there were a way to do it from the command line – rbanffy Jun 03 '16 at 10:56

You can also add custom values for font sizes. From the Font window, click the gear in the upper left, and choose "Edit Sizes".

Then, enter your value.

On Ventura 13.3.1, there was no slider. I needed to add a new, discrete size.
