My employer uses the windows version of putty to provide console access to a Linux server. Under the configure menu when I click on Window, Putty has the following options:

When window is resized:
    Change the number of rows and columns
    Change the size of the font
    Change font size only when maximised
    Forbid resizing completely

The console access is being used to access a program that is locked at a certain number of rows and columns so when set to the first option no more data appears on the screen you just end up with a black border on the right and the bottom. Which is the same thing that happens with most terminal emulators. So I have begun selecting the second option which is really convenient as it allows users to set the terminal size based off of what else they are using on the screen and get bigger easier to read text.

I'm in the process of switching these workstations to Linux. Does anyone know of a terminal emulator for Linux that has that option. Putty for Linux does not(Or at least I haven't found it yet).
