CSS Font Sizing - Using "/"

I've seen sites with font-size:12px/2em (or similar) specified on the body.

What does this font sizing do exactly?

+2  A: 

12px is the font size and 2em is the line-height.

+2  A: 

It's a shorthand for setting the font-size (12px) and the line-height (2em). Though, I didn't think you could do it on the font-size property, only on the font property.
