Too much space between letters in IntelliJ Idea Terminal

Question

How can i reduce the space between letters in the IntelliJ terminal? It shows too much space between the characters. The console shows the characters just fine, though.

UPDATE

Compare the IntelliJ console with the intelliJ terminal:

Console

Terminal

As you can see, I have a lot of space between the characters in the terminal, as compared to the console.

Answer 1

Set a different console font from the settings.

Answer 2

This happened to me also on all of my log and terminal consoles when I updated to 2021.1 yesterday. It turned out that my console font had been set to an obscure font I had not seen before. I reset the console font to the default (Fira 16) and the problem was fixed.

IntelliJ was searching for settings during the upgrade, so maybe this was where the problem started.
