	Typographic unit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Typographic units are the units of measurement used in typography or typesetting.
		The traditional units are different from common metric units, as they were established earlier.
		The choice of the metric unit for the prototype was because at the time the Imperial and U.S. inches differed in size slightly, and neither country could legally specify a unit of the other.

		Typographic units are different from common metric units, as they were established earlier.
		Today, digital printing and display devices and page layout softwares are using a unit that is different from these traditional typographic units.
		The traditional typographic units are based either on non-metric units, or on odd multiples (such as 35/83) of a metric unit.

		A byte is the unit most computers use to represent a character such as a letter, number, or typographic symbol (for example, "g", "5", or "?").
		A byte can also hold a string of bits that need to be used in some larger unit for application purposes (for example, the stream of bits that constitute a visual image for a program that displays images or the string of bits that constitutes the machine code of a computer program).
		In some computer systems, four bytes constitute a word, a unit that a computer processor can be designed to handle efficiently as it reads and processes each instruction.

	[USMA:15595] Metric Typographic Units
		There is nothing wrong in principle with continued use of font specific units such as the em, as these are not absolute length measurements.
		While US-originated typographic software frequently does allow to switch into some sort of metric mode, these metric modes usually have lots of loose ends and were obviously never used in daily work by their developers.
		Conversion to archaic units like the inch and the various points should only be an add-on feature in the user interface on top of an underlying purely metric architecture, and not the other way round.
