Comment (by fel64):

 W3 doesn't seem to prefer one over the other: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-
 CSS2/syndata.html#length-units.
 > However, an 'ex' is defined even for fonts that don't contain an "x".
 That, though, shows that the x is a bit arbitrary for non-roman fonts.
 Especially in those cases does the em value make more sense.
