The support for "ex" is vague at best, I fear -- most user-agents
misleadingly seem to equate 1ex with .5em, the only exception being IE 5 for
Macintosh which supposedly generates a bitmapped lowercase "x" and measures
its height in pixels, AFAIK.
Hence, I don't recommend to use "ex".
Regards,
Jens.
