Zypper is hardly the only problem. One of the reasons for using vttys in the first place is escape from tiny text
What precludes you from running an xterm with a suitable font size so as to fill the screen in at least one dimension?
Besides being in multi-user to fix an unusable X, or upgrading a minimalist installation to include any X at all after setting solver.onlyRequires = true to keep it as svelte as practical? ;-) Interesting that you asked about xterm specifically. I've never figured out how to make xterm text more than about 60% of a comfortable size. These seem to answer that A11Y obstacle: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=835299 (WONTFIX) and https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=833437 (open) OTOH, Konsole text I can acceptably control text size in, but only globally, not on a window by window basis remembered across sessions, users and installations. Using vttys avoids that impediment by usually having bigger text, in full screen, or did, until cmdline utility developers decided using colors on vttys should be both implemented *and* applied by default. Color only recently appeared in zypper's man page. It and its reference to zypper.conf make no mention how "autodetect" determines what to do, where or to what it looks in order to decide whether to use colors.
Wouldn't FHS put that in ~/.config/zypper.conf instead?
XDG yes. However, zypper does not follow XDG (yet, at least).
