In an xterminal, you can set the font directly.  For example:
-----------------
xterm -font 12x24
----------------- 
will use a big font (giving you approx. 65 columns, 22 lines). 
At the other extreme, you could use 4x6 (which gives you twice
as many columns/rows).  There are many font types/sizes available 
in /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts.  The simplest ones are in the the misc 
directory.
