Answer 1

Answer:

C. Points

•    A font is often measured in pt (points).
•    Points dictate the height of the lettering.
•    There are approximately 72 points in one inch or 2.54 cm.
•    The minimum size of the font is 8 and the maximum size of the font is 72.
•    Font size is important to make our text clearly visible on a sheet of paper and to maintain visibility after printing, without making the document look either scattered or messy.
