CSS seems to define an em as the font's height.

H1 { margin: 0.5em } /* ems, the height of the element's font */
The size of an em is calculated based on the height of the font, but it
is traditionally used as a measure of width (in one of the sources I
looked at, it said that the em size is chosen such that an "em space" is
roughly square).
