Is there a terminal that allows you to set the rows and columns that you want and then resizes the text instead? gnome-terminal has a zoom-in and zoom-out function that's close to what I want but it's not "infinite" and works by repeatedly hitting hotkeys, not by changing the window size.

I don't know about resizing the text but this "gnome-terminal --geometry=80x50" will give you a window that size 80 char wide and 50 lines. You would need a wrapper script or a Launcher from the gnome desktop.

Ncurses want scale with that but you can Zoom in on it for sure.

ncurses catches SIGWINCH; applications using ncurses may/may not adjust their layout accordingly.
