... man consolechars, or googling something like "console fonts size
row
change help" or so ... I definitely don't know very much on how and
why all this font stuff is working here ... I mostly try to find infos
on WWW or locally in the helpfiles on my system, and sometimes I have
some luck, other times not at all ....
... BTW: after a font change, to decide whether I want it or not, I'd
also check the special characters like @, $, þ, ¹, ², ³, ¼, ½, ¾, {, or
so ... you'll probabably have others on your keyboard than I do on my
German one, but sometimes you might need them urgently.
Perhaps my notes on the topic on
www.geocities.com/wolfgangpfeiffer/keys.html
might be of some help ...

... not being sure if I understand you: with the 'numbers of columns'
you talk about the possible numbers of characters per line, right? ...
If yes: I don't know whether this sort of font change is possible, and
whether it makes sense, after all: such a change might *possibly*
render the fonts nearly unreadable, but that's just my guess ...
Good luck!
