Here's an example from my jsp:

<t:dataTable id="items" var="assignment"
                value="#{assignmentList.assignments}" rowCountVar="rowsCount"
                headerClass="searchTable_Header" footerClass="searchTable_Footer"
                columnClasses="searchTable_Column,searchTable_Column_Centered">
                <h:column>
                        <f:facet name="header">
                                <h:outputText value="Patient Name" />
                        </f:facet>
                        <h:outputText value="#{assignment.contactName}" />
                </h:column>
                <h:column>
                        <f:facet name="header">
                                <h:outputText value="Activity/Call" />
                        </f:facet>
                        <h:outputText value="#{assignment.urlForDisplay}" />
                </h:column>
</t:dataTable>


My style sheet has:
.searchTable_Column_Centered {
        font-family : Arial, Helvetica, verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
        font-size: 12px;
        background-color: #FFFFFF;
    color: #000000;
    padding: 2;
    text-align: center;
    border: none;
        }
.searchTable_Column {
        font-family : Arial, Helvetica, verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
        font-size: 12px;
        font-weight: bold;
        background-color: #FFFFFF;
    color: #000000;
    padding: 2;
    text-align: left;
    border: none;
        }

(You should be able to add something like width:760px above to get the width you want).

And up top in my layout.jsp (I use tiles):

<link rel="stylesheet"
                href="<h:outputText value="#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/style/basic.css" />" />


Hth,
