                  I looked at the point size and font size= option and found that font size=3 is pretty close.

                  If that makes sense so anyone.

                      12pt. is for print.
                      12px. is for web.

                          12 point is a font size. Though I'm not sure how anyone can guarantee 12 point as an absolute size when different screen resolutions make it relative on the computer, unlike in print.

                              the question is, is it: 12px, 12pm, 12pt or 12em ?

                                              I know...how? I am a letterpress printer. This is an obsolete method of printing, and in order to understand points, you need to know what they are.

                                              In printer's terms, we measure in points and picas. Throw inches and the metric system out the window.

                                              There are 72 points in a inch. A 12 point typeface is standard size, so to speak...it's about the size of a letter printed in a book, or a newspaper.

                                              Of course none of this matters, as monitor settings render all this worthless.

                                              This is how much the DOJ knows about the interner and our business.

                                                  i'm not sure they even know what an "img" tag or "iframe" tag is

                                                          12 px is smaller than 12pt

                                                              To avoid further confusion between print, web, and viewer resolutions. The DOJ in its infinate wisdom added this line "or no smaller than the second-largest typeface". So go no smaller than 12px or 13 if your real anal. Though odds are that will not be the second largest typeface anyways.

I am from a long line of printing dudes and can totally back this guy. A letterpress guy has to know this shit. its dumb shit, but its totally necessary for "hot type" letter press guys.

I am from a long line of printing dudes and can totally back this guy. A letterpress guy has to know this shit. its dumb shit, but its totally necessary for "hot type" letter press guys.

                                                                          When sickness comes I must decide:
