Most of the vga cards I've used support at least one 132 column text mode.
Certainly the S3 card in my Forth PC does, I run Forth in 132 columns.
It uses mode 55(hex) for 132x43.

An older DFI vga card in another box runs the following modes:

Mode(Hex)  Format   Char size
53         132x25   8x14
54         132x30   8x16
55         132x43   8x11
56         132x60   8x8
57         132x25   9x14
58         132x30   9x16
59         132x43   9x11
5A         132x60   9x8

According to the manual.
