	The history of the American "point" system -- by Nicholas Fabian. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In 1737, Pierre Simon Fournier, a typefounder in Paris, France, published a booklet entitled, "Tables des Proportions qu'il faut observer entre les caractères", announcing his adoption of a typographic point system.
		Fournier based his point system on the French type size called "cicero", which was 0.1648 of an inch, and he divided his cicero into 12 typographical points.
		After the death of Pierre Simon Fournier, Ambroise Didot, who was an influential typefounder and printer of the period, decided to improve on Fournier's point system by harmonizing it with the existing legal French foot measurement of the day, which was 12.7892 American inches.

		Zu dieser soliden kunsthandwerklichen Ausbildung kam ein intensives Interesse an der Drucktechnik und der Entwicklung der Typographie, was Pierre Simon Fournier zu einem der frühesten Theoretiker und Historiker seiner Zunft machte.
		Fournier reformierte die traditionelle Renaissance-Antiqua, insbesondere die Angleichung der Oberlängen von Gemeinen von der k-Linie auf die H-Linie der Versalien, und schuf in rascher Folge eine Vielzahl von Barock-Antiquas, Schreibschriften und Ornamenten, sogenannten Zierat, in zeitgenössischer Rokoko-Manier.
		Fournier resignierte, legte aber 1765 mit seinem »Traité historique et critique sur l'origine et les progrès des caractères de fonte pour l'impression de la musique, avec des épreuves de nouveaux caractères de musique, présentés aux imprimeurs de France« eine erste grundlegende Geschichte des Musikdrucks in Frankreich vor, die zugleich sehr eindrucksvoll seine fundierte Kompetenz bezeugte.
