I am puzzled by your question. Most modern terminal emulators make it
easy to change the font size. Perhaps you want the terminal to lock the
number of rows and columns, and then scale the font based on the window
size?
I live in Konsole, and it does not automatically scale the font to the
window size. But it does support multiple profiles that are easy to
change with a keystroke. I use that to change the font size based on
which monitor I am on (high DPI vs low DPI).

My employer uses the windows version of putty to provide console access

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).
