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.
