(11) Diamond (4.5 pt, 1.5875 mm). Fonts originally consisted of a set of moveable type letterpunches purchased from a type foundry . As early as 1600, the sizes of these types—their "bodies" [ 1 ] —acquired traditional names in English, French, German, and Dutch, usually from their principal early uses. [ 2 ]
With the average American woman's height (20 years and older) at about 5 ft 4 in (162.1 cm) (Department of Health 2012), both standard and catalog size ranges attempt to address a variety of weights or builds as well as providing for the "shorter-than-average" height woman with "petite" and "half-sizes". However "taller-than-average" women may ...

The mile (Mil) is thus about 963 or 1146 meters (3160 or 3760 ft ...
In the most familiar acuity test, a Snellen chart is placed at a standard distance: 6 metres. At this distance, the symbols on the line representing "normal" acuity subtend an angle of five minutes of arc, and the thickness of the lines and of the spaces between the lines subtends one minute of arc. This line, designated 6/6 (or 20/20), is the ...
The French National Print Office adopted a point of 2 ⁄ 5 mm or 0.400 mm in about 1810 and continues to use this measurement today (though "recalibrated" to 0.398 77 mm). [ 21 ] [ 22 ] [ 23 ] Japanese [ 24 ] and German [ 9 ] [ 16 ] [ 18 ] standardization bodies instead opted for a metric typographic base measure of exactly 1 ⁄ 4 mm or 0.250 ...
