As the text grows, there will be some distortion especially at the
extremes, using font proportional units like 'em' help minimize the
effect because you should let folks scale the text, some people have
less the perfect eye sight. If you want to maintain a straight left-hand
margin on the content wrap the main page content in a 'content' div and
set the left hand margin see this example...
