One additional reason (on top of others I mentioned) as to why I am fond of the Ahem font is that a blank space (U+0020) for Windows fonts (say, Times New Roman) occupies usually 4px but under other operating systems using another font as default font, it could be less or more (say, 5px under Linux using DejaVu Sans). With Ahem font, it is 1em. And so, tests across platforms can be more reliable with Ahem font.
