Readble style,

I agree with Bob, allthough that's irelivant. I don't think it's the reponsibilty of the developer to determine these settings. Why not ad an admin function to the /pvt/home where users can set their personal preference for collumn width
Just a thought

As Bob already mentioned, users already can control column width 
- by resizing their browser window.  Doing it that way has advantage
that people actually know it's possible even if they are new to    
the site.

Also, IMHO, anything you try to do with fixed table widths, character  
sizes etc.  is more likely to reduce than to increase usability    
and accessibility.

Branimir, I love how you have used pre tags to make your
point.  Very ironic.
