    Ctrl++ and Ctrl+- are working fine for me. Maybe you have different shortcuts configured.

    To change the keyboard shortcuts, go to Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts... in the gnome-terminal menu, and look for Zoom In and Zoom Out:

  2. Try Shift Ctrl +for increasing

    and Ctrl - for decreasing font size.

    Note: the Shift key is needed on some systems.

  3. Trick that worked for me was to use Ctrl + Shift + = or Ctrl + - but NOT on numeric keyboard.

  4. Remember that terminal is VERY literal! The + key Ubuntu terminal wants is on top row and requires Shift otherwise it's =.
