How to setup font of Terminal?

The space between characters is so big.

Does this matter ?

Install the fonts:

sudo dnf install adobe-source-code-pro-fonts

And change the font for monospace text.

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface \
    monospace-font-name "Source Code Pro 10"

Or reset to defaults:

gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name

Ohoh!

Looks great.
Thank you so much for your support.

Note: terminals use “monospaced fonts”. There are many of these in the repos, so you can choose whichever you want to use and set it using tweak-tool (which is a gui for a subset of all gsettings). So, the issue here wasn’t the specific font, it was that you weren’t using a monospaced font for monospaced text (as your image of the tweak tool shows).

For example, I use the Anka-Coder condensed fonts:

Here are some more great options:
