Following the grid system that we should be using for layout, columns
would have a size expressed in whole cell units and a fixed number of
columns would work everywhere, though for wide screens there would be
some waste.

About text, I'm afraid we cannot do anything else than let them wrap
if are too long, and just scroll vertically as needed.
