About point and micrometre
Point: A DTP point is 1/72 of an inch (≈0.3528 mm) — the unit used for font sizes.
Micrometre: A micrometre (micron) is one-millionth of a metre — used for cells, wavelengths and machining tolerances.
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.
Frequently asked questions
