SPECIFICATION OF DIMENSIONAL VALUES

In the descriptions in the OPTIONS section below, physical dimensions described as # may be specified as a single number with an optional fractional part, and a required two-letter unit designator. Possible forms are:

#.##bp	 big point (1in	= 72bp)		 [120.000/Pbp cpi]
#.##cc	 cicero	(1cc = 12dd)		 [  9.381/Pcc cpi]
#.##cm	 centimeter			 [  4.233/Pcm cpi]
#.##dd	 didot point (1157dd = 1238pt)	 [112.569/Pdd cpi]
#.##in	 inch				 [  1.667/Pin cpi]
#.##mm	 millimeter (10mm = 1cm)	 [ 42.333/Pmm cpi]
#.##pc	 pica (1pc = 12pt)		 [ 10.038/Ppc cpi]
#.##pt	 point (72.27pt	= 1in)		 [120.450/Ppt cpi]
#.##sp	 scaled	point (65536sp = 1pt)	 [  7.893/(Psp/1000000)	cpi]

The bracketed values give the number of characters per inch (cpi) for a point size of P units with the default fixed-width Courier font. For example, with point size 8bp, there are 120/8 = 15 characters per inch. With point size 1000000sp, there are 7.893 characters per inch.
