programatically query or change xfce4-terminal geometry or font size
i can set these parameters initially via command arguments (some limitations) or via GUI manipulation (more limitations). but i would like to do this within a script. i don't want these to be permanent or have to restart xfce4-termnal (to read a changed config file) to do this. can this be done? the script to do this will be be running as the same user and with std{in,out,err} going to that xfce4-termnal (it is running in the window to be changed). i will be implementing this in Python3 or maybe C.

I think the easiest way is to use the command line utility wmctrl for this.
If you prefer to write a Python script, the EWMH (Extended Window Manager Hints) is an option. The function setMoveResizeWindow() is what you need.
