其实ex这个单位是相对的,说是相对字母X的高度
look

Font-size ex is somewhat similiar to the em measerument, as it uses the default size of the font (not the default size the browser uses, but the size the font is drawn at). Where the em uses the square in which the entire character resides, ex is the height of a lower case x.
You probably noticed that why you type something in Times New Roman, and then change font-family to Verdana, it seems to big, eventhough it takes up the same space on your screen.
What seems as a differance in size is actually a difference in legibility. Verdana has a bigger ex than Times New Roman does. This could be a useful measurement if you insist on using a strange font not everyone has, but you want it to be legible both in the intended font, and the back-up font.
