How to change font color and size in RHEL5?


Friends,
How to change the foreground and background text color in /dev/ttyX as well as /dev/pts/X.

I tried setterm -background green -foreground black -store, but this works only for a particular session. How do I make it permanent?
2.I also tried xterm -bg green -fg black from /dev/ptx/X(terminal window), but again, it opens a new terminal window, does correctly, but again, this is only for that session. How to make this permanent.
3.How to change font sizes...??

if you are running terminal from the GUI right click on the terminal window and modify the properties.
