[SOLVED] local font size in xfce-terminal

Does anyone know if there's a way to change the font-size in xfce-terminal locally (for just one window), preferably on the command line? It's possible to change it globally (for all terminal windows) through the preferences menu, but I can't find a way to restrict the change to just one window. There are a ton of notes on how to change font colors (link below for example), but I can't find any material regarding font size.

What version of xfce4-terminal are you using? Current versions support the "--font" parameter:

xfce4-terminal --font "Sans 24"
