and throughout my site, any of those widgets with 3 words in their title (such as "Sheet Metal Dimpler") appear to wrap back upon themselves in Chrome and Firefox. Safari shows them the way I need to; all on 1 line. The type style for that widget header is in percent...maybe I should spec pixels to keep the size exact?
Neither % nor px widths bear a predictable relationship to text size, unless you use px for both width and text size. But if you do that, you're disregarding the user's preferred text size, making him unhappy.
When you set the width to an appropriate em value for the maximum possible line length, then you'll get the fit you're after, and the user will see happy size fonts regardless what his preference happens to be.
