The default setting for browsers is 1 em = 16 pixels. The user has the
option to change that value to suit their preference.
Normally you would set font-size:100% for <body> and adjust the other
font sizes from there using per-cents or ems. There is really no need to
know the actual pixel setting for an em, it's all relative to the user's
preferred font size.
