That is because not all widths have gone.
To prove this, add this line:
#contents {width: 903px;}
If the total page would be 903-897=6pixels wider, the middle column
fits.
So you're looking for 6 pixels too much width in the middle column.
You haven't looked at http://here.locusmeus.com/kim.html, have you?
It should give you some clues as to where the width is coming from.
Look at the page in both IE and another browser, to see how different
browsers respond to your code.
Oh, and Richard and Norman are right, you could easily do this page
without pixel fonts and pixel heights. In fact, it would be easier.

The background images that have text on them, are just coloured
blocks. You can repeat them when the font is enlarged.

Did he say 'make sure the font can't get enlarged' or are you assuming
that it shouldn't be cause otherwise the design wouldn't work?
