x = 0.8
xx = 0.6
That's what the ConTeXt Reference Manual also says, but that doesn't
seem to match what ConTeXt does. The 'x' ratio is 0.835 and the 'xx'
ratio is 0.6667.
The default sizes (12pt, 14.4pt etc,) set the x and xx sizes to a fixed 
size which leads
to differences and the scale factor.
Below are the settings for the 12pt size from font-pre.mkiv:

\definebodyfontenvironment
   [12pt]
   [x=10pt,
    xx=8pt]
