I know that it isn't possible. Users use different viewport sizes, they
may override things like author font suggestions, colours, they may have
tables disabled, they may have graphics disabled, javascript, they may
render web pages on a non graphical platform. That's just a sample of
things that will make any web page look very different on different
client systems.
Properly coded websites will work under all those conditions. Web sites
that have been coded in an attempt to "look the same" often break
horribly under varying conditions.
