Depending on the presence of a style *** is a bad idea, it usually
indicates that you are using CSS for something you should be using HTML
for ... but you aren't actually doing that :)

border-spacing (on a table) is the distance between the edges of the cells
in a table with their neighboring cells and the border of the table itself
(the property replaces cellspacing).

padding (on a cell) is the distance between the edges of the cell and the
content of the cell.

This sounds like a job for replacing those innermost tables with unordered
lists, and setting a width on each (a percentage width would probably be
best).

Bitstream Vera Sans, but its the size that's really important.
