In general, font sizes do not correspond to any particular number of pixels-- only in particular cases, such as in IE on an OS set to 96 DPI is that so.
FWIW - The menu breaks to two lines in all my browsers this end; IE and Opera put both "Commentary" and "Maps" on the second line, probably due to my having "large fonts" installed. Although you have "frozen" the font-size to 12px in IE, note that other browsers allow you to boost this value at will, so be sure to test using browser text size controls.
