Font conversion from point size to metric
Font conversion from point size to metric
(OP)
What is the correct conversion from 10 PT size characters to the like metric size?
And I will also need other point sizes like 12PT converted if you have a reference.
Do you express the height and width, and spacing, line spacing?
Has the metric size font been used widely?
Thanks, John

So, 10 point = 0.139" = 3.53mm
and 12 point = 0.167" = 4.23mm
