How do I change to standard? I dont understand the measurements on the screen. How do I get them to be in mm,cm, inches? Thanks
The size of characters displayed in your Word processor is determined by the font size and the resolution of your output device (e.g. monitor/ printer). Values in the em square are converted to values in the pixel coordinate system by multiplying them by a scale. This scale is:
pointSize * resolution / ( 72 points per inch * units_per_em )
where pointSize is the size at which the glyph is to be displayed, and resolution is the resolution of the output device. The 72 in the denominator reflects the number of points per inch.
For example, assume that a glyph’s outline is 550 units in length on a 72 dpi screen at 18 point. There are 2048 units per em. The following calculation reveals that the outline is 4.83 pixels long.
550 * 18 * 72 / ( 72 * 2048 ) = 4.83
