> Equal to the used cap-height of the first available font [CSS3-FONTS]. The cap-height is so called because it is approximately equal to the height of a capital Latin letter. However, a cap is defined even for fonts that do not contain Latin letters. The cap-height of a font can be found in different ways. Some fonts contain reliable metrics for the cap-height. If reliable font metrics are not available, UAs may determine the cap-height from the height of an uppercase glyph. One possible heuristic is to look at how far the glyph for the uppercase “O” extends below the baseline, and subtract that value from the top of its bounding box. In the cases where it is impossible or impractical to determine the cap-height, the font’s ascent must be used.
