So use CSS then, rather than the number of superfluous tables you're
still using.
Using DreamWeaver has probably been the culprit here. It's not a good
choice for good quality web design.

I certainly wouldn't say "works well". IMHO it's ugly, works badly, and
probably took more effort to achieve than doing it right. Find a good
CSS-based example site and borrow that (try glish.com, bluerobot,
alistapart and many others)

There's no content in your test page, so it's impossible to judge this.
Put some lorem ipsum in there, then see how it behaves.

That's a terrible idea, stop it right now.
Use one style sheet, use em-based font sizing and let users manage
their own default text sixes. "Text only" stylesheets are a bogosity
too.
Also these font links do something funny to my Back button, which is an
annoyance.
You're also using (and mis-using) XHTML, so go back to HTML 4.01 Strict
(or else find a good reason to use XHTML, and learn to do it right).
