\fontdimen5\f=-10000pt % a new (rather small) xheight
\textfont0=\f
\newdimen\h \newdimen\d % will be set to the character's height, depth

% (By the way, my previous best was this:
% \textfont15=\f % use family "F
% \fontdimen8\tenex=0pt % set defaultrulethickness zero
% \setbox1=\null \ht1=-10000pt \setbox2=\null \dp3=-10000pt
% \newdimen\d \newdimen\h \newcount\n
% \n=#1 \advance\n"F00
% \setbox0=\hbox{$\radical\n{\copy1}$}
% \d=\dp0 \advance\d-5000pt \advance\d\d %\showthe\d
% \setbox0=\hbox{$\radical\n{\copy2}$}
% \h=\ht0 \advance\h-5000pt \advance\h-.5\d
% \ifdim\h>0pt \h=.5\h \fi
% ....very tricky! But it works only when height+depth is positive.)
