I was a bit confused with this statement, because it looked true to me, while 
at the same time I had in mind that em was related to the width of the "m" 
letter.

Then I finally found this `page`_ which made it much clearer: there seems to 
be a misunderstanding of this unit among the TeX community, to my surprise...
