Hi Kim - layout view is there just to give you an approximation of where things are in your layout, not a reliable representation of how it will be rendered in the browser. Actually, same goes for Preview. In your layout/design, you have to allow for some variance in font size and presentation since the site will be viewed on multiple platforms, browsers, environments, etc. You can get close by specifying font and line height in pixels, as you have, but it's still just "close".

If your layout relies heavily on absolutely positioned elements (Layers, Grids, etc.) then this can become a problem... one of the big reasons to avoid both.
