Unlike chaging the number of rows on the display which is done by
a font change, getting 132 columns requires a change the the scan
rate, and your video card needs to be able to generate it, and your
video monitor needs to be able to display it.  No two video cards
are required to support 132 columns in the same way.  Many cards
however do provide a BIOS subfunction to set 132 columns, but it's
card specific.  Look in the interupt list under INT 10H function 0
(set video mode) for your video card to see how to do it for your
card.
