If you are having too large fonts in multiple applications, perhaps it
is your fonts settings in Appearance preferences that is causing this.
In Iceweasel, you can change fonts from Appearance preference (I think
you have to click on Advanced) by setting a desired point size for the
fonts for default encoding.
In gnome terminal, I think you need to set the font in the profile for
the terminal.
But I would recommend first checking Gnome's Appearance in Preferences
and making sure the font settings there are okay. I would try changing
stuff there before doing anything else.
