About millimetre and point
Millimetre: A millimetre is one-thousandth of a metre.
Point: A DTP point is 1/72 of an inch (≈0.3528 mm) — the unit used for font sizes.
The metric units (km, m, cm, mm, µm) are exact by definition, and the imperial units (mile, yard, foot, inch, nautical mile) use their exact international values. Traditional units (hand, span, finger, cubit, rod/pole, link, rope, ken, league) are given at their commonly accepted standard sizes — historical local values sometimes differed, so confirm against a primary source before relying on them for legal or historical work.
