What you are seeing is 100% of .8em (em being the size of the font relative to
font size of the body). There are three units one should be very careful; They
are em, px and ex. px is relative to the device used to view the web; ex is
the x-height of the font ie the width of the font (in cartesian geometry xy
units).
Now the size you are seeing is 80% (0.8) of the overall font size. So you are
seeing 100% of 80%.
My 2p worth here! and hope it helps.
