Oh no, no, that's not what I mean. I mean allowing the user to say "I want to
choose a font in this family in which the x has a height of so-and-so points",
while right now you can only say "I want to choose a font in this family in
which the Em has a height of so-and-so pointer". No distortions or adjustments.

It's not about how the font looks. A font designer is literally prevented of
doing anything about this issue: If they created a font (family) where an x
height of 10 pt corresponds to an M height of 30pt, the designer can't tell you
in any way "please don't think of my Em-height-30 font as being that high in
lower case". Deciding what measures to focus on is the application's
responsibility.</pre>
