The COLUMNS and LINES variables are determined in /etc/rc.status but
are *not* exported to the virtual consoles as the boot scripts are
executed on the system console /dev/console and not on the virtual
consoles (even if on the same phyical screen).
You can check this by loging on a virtual console. Just run
echo $COLUMNS
echo $LINES
stty size
then change to a font with differnet size and retry
stty size
