Yes, this looks correct. If you want to prevent font differences from
playing a role here, you could use inline-blocks (or images, etc.)
with fixed size along with zero-width spaces, though.

No, I don't see anything wrong in Opera 10.62 for Linux.

They look identical here, in Opera 10.62 Linux. With my font I have
room for 5 words on the first line. I get the same result in 10.62 for
Windows. BTW: did you mean to write "Opera 10.62 under Linux" above?
As far as I could understand, it was Linux that you had a problem
with, not Windows.

That could be useful.
