CSS Menu em width on PC with IE

I design a CSS Menu with 16 em width (why not pixels?). Looks good on a Mac in both Safari and Firefox.

On a PC with Internet Explorer the menu is twice as wide and overlaps graphics to the right. See http://www.guyenne-immobilier.co.uk/ ( site under development )

Is there any code I can insert in the header to correct this ?
Thanks
Nick

The size of an em on screen will depend on the default font size that is set in the browser. Look in the Preferences: in Safari it is the size of the “Standard Font” and in Firefox it’s the “default font size”.

The standard default font size for all browsers on Mac and windows is 16px (corresponding to “medium” on IE). Most users will leave this setting as it is, so for the majority of users an em will display as 16 pixels in the browser. Your site is showing up differently on Mac because the default font size has been set smaller in your browsers. For testing Web sites it’s best to go back to the default setting of 16px.
