(foldoc) | point
1. (Sometimes abbreviated "pt") The unit of
length used in typography to specify text character height,
rule width, and other small measurements.
There are six slightly different definitions: Truchet point,
Didot point, ATA point, TeX point, Postscript point,
and IN point.
In Europe, the most commonly used is Didot and in the US, the
formerly standard ATA point has essentially been replaced by
the PostScript point due to the demise of traditional
typesetting systems and rise of desktop computer based systems
running software such as QuarkXPress, Adobe InDesign and
Adobe Pagemaker.
There are 20 twips in a point and 12 points in a pica
(known as a "Cicero" in the Didot system).

on-screen pointer is positioned over a certain object on the

known as "mouse-over" event which may cause some help text
(called a "tool tip" in Windows) to be displayed.
