Font size is fixed at all times, so that part isn't much of an issue. The 
percent-of-screen approach might work out ok. Some of the users are bouncing 
between using two external monitors, and expanding the application to almost 
the full combined desktop size, to take advantage of the extra horizontal real 
estate. But a percentage approach would still handle that fairly well, I think.
