    Not a total duplicate. Although changing system fonts is covered in the link, changing fonts in terminal and gedit are not. – amc May 04 '12 at 15:06

To install gnome-tweak-tool in Ubuntu 12.04-20.04 open the terminal and type

sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool

In fonts you can change the systemwide font.

For gedit:

gedit
(source: iloveubuntu.net)

For terminal: terminal

Not sure about the editor but for the terminal just change the font for the default profile from the

Edit -> Profile menu

For the terminal, you can right-click in the content window (not the title bar), and choose 'Profiles', then 'Profile preferences'. You then get the same dialog as showed in 0x00F's answer
