Hmmm... I thought 1ex was the height of an `x', not it's width, which makes measuring a width using ex's is kind of strange.


A dimension or length is a dimension or length. Do you give the size of a box in ex \times em? Is a height inch shorter than a length inch? And what is the measure of a depth? 6 feet, like in graves?

Anyway, lower case x are mostly as high as wide. (More perfect than o's.)
