Font size too big, can't play

I'm playing on an iPhone 11, and the game says "Woah! Your terminal is tiny! This game requires a minimum terminal size of 80X24 to work properly. 66X18 just won't do. Maybe a smaller font would help?" I don't see a way to make the font smaller. Maybe this is a feature that could be added?
