It's just IE being IE. Other browsers have getComputedStyle which tells you
the dimensions in pixels. IE has currentStyle; although that does tell you
the current style (taking the CSS cascade into effect) it returns whatever
dimensions were given in the style rule. jQuery's .css() method uses
whatever it's dealt by the browser.
 
I think I've seen IE hacks where you can put a box around a character and
then measure the box in pixels to get the font size, but my Google-fu is
weak at the moment.
