The contemporary computer PostScript pica is exactly 1 ⁄ 6 of an inch or 1 ⁄ 72 of a foot, i.e. 4.2 3 mm or 0.1 6 in.

The most common types of single-sheet brochures are the bi-fold (a single sheet printed on both sides and folded into halves) and the tri-fold (the same, but folded into thirds). A bi-fold brochure results in four panels (two panels on each side), while a tri-fold results in six panels (three panels on each side). [5]
The most used of this series is the size A4, which is 210 mm × 297 mm (8.27 in × 11.7 in) and thus almost exactly 1 ⁄ 16 square metre (0.0625 m 2; 96.8752 sq in) in area. For comparison, the letter paper size commonly used in North America ( 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in × 11 in; 216 mm × 279 mm) is about 6 mm ( 0.24 in ) wider and 18 mm ( 0.71 in ...

The following table is adapted from the scale of the American Library Association, [1] [9] which uses a basis sheet of 19-by-25-inch (483 by 635 mm) [10] which is, confusingly if not explained by the source, half the text/book stock sheet of 25-by-38-inch (635 by 965 mm), and in which size refers to the dimensions of the cover (trimmed pages ...
The font size thus acquired the name cicero. It is 1 ⁄ 6 of the historical French inch, and is divided into 12 points, [2] known in English as French points or Didot points. The unit of the cicero is similar to an English pica, although the French inch was slightly larger than the English inch. There are about 1.066 picas to a cicero; a pica ...
