I accidentaly changed the size of font in my Aterm window.
I didn't knew that there was such a feature.

How did I do it?

I'd really like to chage the font size sometimes...

Problem solved:
Keypad + or keypad - changes the size of fonts.

Typing "aterm --help" will tell you every option aterm has. Adding "-font" lets you use whatever font and size you want. So if you want to use a smaller font like lime from the artwiz fonts (the .dsl package only contains one size), turn off the scroll bar, and have yellow text with a cyan cursor on a blue-tinted transparent background that fades a lot when it loses focus, you'd set up your aterm like this:

aterm +sb -font lime -fg yellow -cr cyan -tint blue -fade 20 -T "whatever terminal name you want"

Don't forget the "&" or "& exit" when launching from another terminal.

Jeah I got that. But what I was looking for was to change the font size on-the-fly.
