How is type measured in inches, mm, points or picas?
Type is measured in points and picas which measure type size, line spacing, and column width.
POINT is a unit of measurement for type sizes and spacing, which in the US and UK is one twelfth of a pica, or 0.013835 inch (0.351 mm), and in Europe is 0.015 inch (0.376 mm)
PICA is a size of letter in typewriting, containing 10 characters to one inch
How many points in an inch?
72 points in 1 inch
If a letter is set in 36 pts about how many inches tall is it?
0.4999 inches= ½ inch
How many picas in an inch?
1 inch = 6 picas
How many points in a pica?
1 Pica = 12 points
