Scusa, ma avrei ancora una richiesta: come si fa per ottenere i parametri in cm o mm?
Con la calcolatrice: 1 pt = 0,3515 mm
La conversione esatta è 1 pt = 25,4/72,27 mm
Ciao

Salve a tutti.
Non voglio fare il pignolo, solo che una volta che so qualcosa avevo piacere di dare una mano anche io. Anche se forse non risolverà il problema, anzi…
Stavo infatti documentandomi sulla guida di beamer “The Beamer Class. User Guide for version 3.09” e vi riporto quanto appreso sul tema dell’altezza dei font:
5.6.1 Font Size (pag 39)
Perhaps the most obvious attribute of a font is its size. Fonts are traditionally measured in “points.” How much a point is depends on whom you ask. TEX thinks a point is the 72.27th part of an inch, which is 2.54 cm. On the other hand, PostScript and Adobe think a point is the 72th part of an inch (TEX calls this a big point). There are differences between American and European points. Once it is settled how much a point is, claiming that a text is in “11pt” means that the “height” of the letters in the font are 11pt. However, this “height” stems from the time when letters where still cast in lead and refers to the the vertical size of the lead letters. It thus does not need to have any correlation with the actual height of, say, the letter x or even the letter M. The letter x of
an 11pt Times from Adobe will have a height that is different from the height of the letter x of an 11pt Times from UTC and the letter x of an 11pt Helvetica from Adobe will have yet another height.
Summing up, the font size has little to do with the actual size of letters. Rather, these days it is a convention that 10pt or 11pt is the size a font should be printed for “normal reading.” Fonts are designed so that they can optimally be read at these sizes.
Quindi in definitiva mi trovo d’accordo con egreg9, diciamo “in prima approssimazione”.
Scusate se ho fatto confusione, buon lavoro 😉
