This is the unfortunate reality about fonts. I once tried to find a way by
first making a non-printed markup of only the "x" character, getting its
Y-extent, then scaling based on that, but I was never successful. Maybe
someone else will have a better idea for you, aside from adding another
input parameter for to pass in to the 'fontsize markup macro.
