Following is a handy matrix for those among us who like to indicate HTML (font) sizes in “em”s. All modern browsers use a 16px default font size. Specifying the font-size and line-height in ems (relative to the 16px default font) allows the user to resize the font in the browser and produces the most consistent results across different browsers.

Now, the matrix:

 font-size: .625em;            = 10px

 font-size: .8125em;           = 13px 
 font-size: .875em;            = 14px
 font-size: .9375em;           = 15px
 font-size: 1.0625em;          = 17px
 font-size: 1.125em;           = 18px     
 font-size: 1.188em;           = 19px      
 font-size: 1.25em;            = 20px
