So, how big is an ‘em’? I set up a small experiment to tell me just that.
I don’t see the point of the blog entry or the experiment.

The text says ‘Letters aren’t all 1em wide.’ I find that an odd
formulation, since _no_ letter is 1em wide.
You seem to argue against the wrong idea that em is the width of the
letter ‘m’. But that’s not the most common common misconception; people
think that em is the width of the _capital_ letter ‘M’. And it is easy
to see that these misconceptions are wrong if one just _looks_ at things.
For example, putting ‘M’ or ‘m’ in a 1em by 1em box is quite sufficient.
Using any font. I don’t see why you would need Web fonts for this.
