How can I change the default font in both Gnome and Terminal to Roboto without installing any additional software? I'm using gnome-terminal.

I'm giving you a "change the font in Terminal, not system-wide monospace" response, since it seems what you are asking.

You need to install the font, then change the settings the Terminal.

  1. sudo apt-get install fonts-roboto
  2. Right click on Terminal
  3. Profiles -> Profile preferences
  4. Change the Font: to Roboto

Note: Roboto is not a monospace font, so it's not the best for use in Terminal. Your terminal use will be better with a monospace font such as Inconsolata, DejaVu Sans Mono, Ubuntu Mono, or Source Code Pro.

I found this to be working:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name 'Noto Mono 11'

(Probably not all apps, gedit changes instantly)
