See w3schools.com : CSS font-size Property [w3schools.com] and their Try-it-yourself demo [w3schools.com]

Which browsers are you testing in? Does it effect ALL browsers?

Have you tried the "w3schools Try-it-yourself demo" that lavazza linked to above? In this you can try setting the font-size to something "HUGENORMOUS!" If this works then it must be a problem with your specific bit of code rather than your browser...?

You could also check (IE):
Internet Options > General Tab > Accessibility Button > Ignore font-sizes specified in webpages

But I doubt this is the issue since you can at least specify smaller font-sizes.

I had no problem with this in IE6:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>hi</title>
<style>
.meme{font-size:20em}
.memp{font-size:200px}
.nono{font-size:200pt}
</style>
<body>
<span class="meme">Lup</span>
<span class="memp">Lup</span>
<span class="nono">Lep</span>
</body>
</html>
They even go well beyond 1000px.
Also realize IE has a "text size" option in the view menu. As far as I know that just scales things though, and wouldn't give the text size a limit. My guess is you are/were doing something wrong.
