I think this is dependent on the browser configuration. In my case, the IE font size with 1 em is apparent bigger than other cases. In other browsers (with or without 1 em) or IE without 1 em, I get the standard 10 pt (13 px) Courier New as output. I guess the reason is that the standard CSS in IE has 10 pt Courier New for <pre>, and 12 pt ... for <body>. "font-size: 1em" makes <pre> use 12 pt as well. For some reasons Chrome is not affected by "font-size: 1em": I verified that it thinks the font-size is still 13 px, the default setting.
