How to check which font the system uses?

Is there a terminal command which allows me to see which font is used in a Linux terminal window?

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

In GNOME I can print list of my gnome-terminal profiles with following command: $ gconftool-2 --get /apps/gnome-terminal/global/profile_list [Default,Profile0] Then I can print font settings with: $ gconftool-2 --get /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/font Monospace 12 $ gconftool-2 --get /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Profile0/font TakaoMincho Bold 36
