Terminal type is normally set with an environment variable: TERM. Applications use ncurses to lookup the terminal description using TERM in the terminfo database.
Most Fedora users are using bash for their shell. You could just
export TERM=xterm-256color
on the command-line. How to configure that for future use depends on the terminal you are using.
