Why, if you are set against a scalable design (sometimes users need to 
be saved from themselves by setting type with an optimal line-length) 
may I suggest specifying the width of the content be specified in 'em' 
rather than 'px'?

This way the column width is locked to the current font size (allowing 
you to control a reasonable line-length), which can be scaled by the 
user.


And even more off-topic...tables for layout?
May I suggest my (currently-seeking-a-proper-home-on-my-site):
