How do I convert font sizes from points into pixels? For example, I received a PSD file with a font-size of 13PT and a line-height of 18PT. What are those values in pixels? I’ve seen the conversion calculators online, but I am not sure I’m A. using them correctly and B. can trust the results. Hopefully someone can offer up a solution and possibly a way for me to finally make sense of this concept.

Thanks!

If your Photoshop-document is 72 dpi,

then pt == px.

So

Code:

font-size: 13px; line-height 18px;

would be just fine.

ooooh, good to know.

I had one client by me a clear ruler so I could measure my screen with her on the phone and move things around by millimeters… lol

Thanks,
