	Typographic unit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Didot’s system was based on Pierre Simon Fournier’s (1712–1768), but Didot modified Fournier’s by adjusting the base unit precisely to a French Royal inch (pouce), as Fournier’s unit was based on an less common foot.
		Both in Didot’s and Fournier’s systems, some point sizes have traditional names such as Cicero (before introduction of point systems, type sizes were called by names such as Cicero, Pica, Ruby, Long Primer, etc).
		Comparing a piece of type in didots for Continental European countries - 12dd, say - to a piece of type for an English-speaking country - 12 pts - shows that the main body of a character is actually about the same size.
