Convert metre to point (typography)
Metre
The metre (Commonwealth spelling and BIPM spelling) or metre (American spelling) (from the French unit mètre, from the Greek noun μετρούν, "measure") is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The SI unit symbol is m. The metre is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
The metre was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along a great circle, so the Earth's circumference is approximately 40000 km. In 1799, the metre was redefined in terms of a prototype metre bar (the actual bar used was changed in 1889). In 1960, the metre was redefined in terms of a certain number of wavelengths of a certain emission line of krypton-86. In 1983, the current definition was adopted.
Point (Typography)
The point is the smallest unit of measure in typography, with the modern PostScript point defined as exactly 1/72 of an inch (approximately 0.3528 mm). It is used universally to specify font sizes, line spacing, and other fine typographic measurements. Historically, the point varied between countries and type foundries until the desktop publishing revolution standardised the PostScript definition.
