To convert point size (pt) to lines per inch, follow these steps:
- Determine the font size of your text. This is usually measured in points (pt). For example, if your font size is 12pt, write down "12".
- Determine the leading of your text. This is the amount of space between lines of text and is also measured in points. For example, if your leading is 14pt, write down "14".
- Add the font size and leading together. In our example, 12pt + 14pt = 26pt.
- Divide 72 (the number of points in an inch) by the total number of points (font size + leading) to get the number of lines per inch. In our example, 72 รท 26 = 2.77 lines per inch.
So, if your font size is
12pt and your leading is
14pt, your text has a density of approximately
2.77 lines per inch.
