Gary asked > So - what does everyone do?
I use em for all measurements (except images). So those column widths are not 200px but 16.7em. With a fixed width page (60em) long lines of text ie 80+ characters per line are difficult to read. Use a little bit of javascript to set the inital font size (and everything elses size) 76% for screens under 1000 pixels wide and 101% for screens wider than 1000 pixels. (OK that will upset a few people, but we are working on the great unwashed masses who do not know or care how to change font sizes) and no JS means 76%. Give people the opportunity to change font sizes with buttons A+ and a- (+10% and -10% respectively) and that info is held by a cookie (again an evil bit of javascript ;-).
