Your type of site?

Let’s face the letters and type Looking for study materials on italic handwriting I discovered Gunnlaugur Briem's excellent website on type design, typography and handwriting.

His remarks on web typography make me wonder: will CSS let me limit the measure of my main text column here to, say, 40em, rather than a fixed number of pixels?

OK, we're trying it. IE6 ignores the rule, but Opera and Netscape leave a column of whitespace, which varies with the text size you view at. Do I like this? Do you? Or should I leave you to set the browser window to whatever width suits you? Comments, please.
