Description:
------------
Some fonts size are in relative units (e.g. "1em") while others have a fixed size (e.g. code samples have a size of "14px").

Expected result:
----------------
Coherent font size : plain text and code sample should have roughly the same size.
Either fixed sizes for all, or relative sizes for all (preferred).

Actual result:
--------------
Depending on the default font of the browser, the code samples can be much larger than most of the text on the page (e.g. 14px/9px means a 56% larger code font).

In the case of font sizes, this is intentional. For whatever reason, every monospace font I tested was rendered differently in ems across various browsers, but experienced no problems in fixed point fonts. I can re-investigate this to see if I can find a better solution; I am going to move to rem instead of em anyway.

In my previous comment I said "In the case of font sizes, this is intentional" but meant "In the case of font sizes for code samples, this is intentional"

This should be fixed with the conversion from em to rem. See this commit: https://github.com/php/web-php/commit/ae01ce157383dcf7b763c66cc50a6c1c72ed4238

There are a few commits afterwards that do minor cleanup but everything seems to integrate better.
