[10] [11] [12]: 60–66 The system of Fournier was based on a different French foot of c. 298 mm. With the usual convention that 1 foot equals 12 inches, 1 inch (pouce) was divided into 12 lines (lignes) and 1 line was further divided into 6 typographic points (points typographiques). One Fournier point is about 0.0135 English inches.
The traditional typographic units are based either on non-metric units, or on odd multiples (such as 35 ⁄ 83) of a metric unit.There are no specifically metric units for this particular purpose, although there is a DIN standard sometimes used in German publishing, which measures type sizes in multiples of 0.25 mm, and proponents of the metrication of typography generally recommend the use of ...
Thus, for example, a 10-point font on a Macintosh (at 72 PPI) was represented with 10 pixels (i.e., 10 PPEm), whereas a 10-point font on a Windows platform (at 96 PPI) at the same zoom level is represented with 13 pixels (i.e., Microsoft rounded 13 + 1 ⁄ 3 to 13 pixels, or 13 PPEm) – and, on a typical consumer grade monitor, would have ...
10 meters – wavelength of the highest shortwave radio frequency, 30 MHz; 10.2 meters – length of the Panzer VIII Maus, the world's largest tank; 12 meters – height of the Newby-McMahon Building, the world's littlest skyscraper; 23 meters – height of Luxor Obelisk, located in the Place de la Concorde, Paris, France
A word is a fixed-sized datum handled as a unit by the instruction set or the hardware of the processor. The number of bits or digits [a] in a word (the word size, word width, or word length) is an important characteristic of any specific processor design or computer architecture.
In many other European languages, the word for "inch" is the same as or derived from the word for "thumb", as a man's thumb is about an inch wide (and this was even sometimes used to define the inch [4]). In the Dutch language a term for inch is engelse duim (english thumb).
The default margins for Microsoft Word from version 2007 onward have been 1 inch (25.4 mm) all around; in Word 2003, the default top and bottom margins were 1 inch (25.4 mm), but 1.25 inches (31.7 mm) were given at the left and the right. [31] [32] OpenOffice Writer and LibreOffice Writer have 0.79 inch (20 mm) all around. [33]
