Of the body or a container div?.. and have a div with padding to set it
in the middle?

Try putting the background image on a container div. The image would
dictate the dimensions of that div. Use what ever method you are
comfortable with to position the content within that div. You are
confining yourself to that page size (width and height) however, unless
you decide on a background color that will show should someone want to
or need to scale their text size. Scaling text (up) would most likely
push out your containing div (one with image bg) at least in one
direction, so the question would be what to do in that case. (i.e. the
bg color mentioned before).

You could also have a huge image that was "cropped" by the container
div, and as the user scaled their text (up) more of the huge image would
show. The down-side to this is that it would be... well... a huge image.
