You can use the WIDTH attribute on <TD>. This will set the width for
a cell (and hence for the column). If possible, the user agent will
use that width. A user agent is allowed to ignore if it would not
be possible to use the suggested width. The disadvantage is that
you have to compare pixels vs (proportional) font width.
