Yuck.  This is just lazy, IMHO.  I did my site's layout entirely using
'em's.  It's not that hard and will scale to any monitor/font-size
combo.  The real killer here is the font size: people on 1600x1200
monitors will likely not be using 12pt fonts in their browser, and if
you force the font size to be 12pt, it'll be painful to read.  Use 'em's
only, please.
