Here's a set I made recently, but it wasn't tested in Safari or 
Opera on Mac.
http://locusmeus.com/test/thumbswithcaptionslistcentered.html
Width is set in pixels, so won't expand on font resize. It will 
depend on the size of the images and length of the words, if 
there's enough horizontal space for words with enlarged font. As 
for variable image sizes, the boxes just should be given enough 
height and width for the largest image - they don't auto-expand.

Much longer ago, I made a similar set, but with markup that's 
less semantic in a way, as in 'a set of small tables'. Because of 
the nature of tables, this has two advantages: they expand 
horizontally on font resize, and the images can be centered 
vertically without knowing their height:

Still, the initial height of the table-cells needs to be set to 
accommodate the largest image, or else they won't stack properly.
