From a photo of the T6963C pins 3,6,7,9 are tied together, it is not apparent whether they go to Vdd or Vss. If it is Vss then maximum vertical resolution would be 64 v-dots, which seems a bit small for a 95mm high display, so I'll assume they're all tied to Vdd.

⇒ 80 to 128 vertical dots, from the physical size most likely 128 (16 lines of characters).
128 is now confirmed from looking at a sample of these displays.

=32 character columns (or this would give 80 columns if they're tied low, a bit excessive for this width display and not enough control chips to handle it).
32 is now confirmed from looking at a sample of these displays.

| FS1 | 9 | 1 |
not sure what FS0 connects to, if Vdd then 5×8 font ⇒ 160 horizontal dots, if Vss then 6×8 font ⇒192 horizontal dots (but again not enough control chips to handle it).
FS0 apparently does connect to Vss, from looking at a sample of these displays, which would imply that it is 192 dots wide.
There are not enough driver chips to handle more than 160 columns, so the above analysis is wrong. From the t6963 datasheet the scanning frequency is independent of font width.
Anyway I must conclude that we have only 160 dots across to play with as the driver chips can't handle more.
