Mattox says in this video that for Text Typefaces, x-height of the Typeface should be 60 to 75% of the Cap height.
What are the possible ways to measure the x-height? Is there any easy way to measure this?

Maybe this one'll work? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4043812/how-do-i-calculate-x-height-i-e-ex-of-a-font-object
