A Postscript point is 0.352777778 of a millimeter, or 1/72 of an inch.

Our font size standard is 6-point, sometimes 7-point, type.

Therefore in those “helpful” dialogs asking how large you want your type to be in mm, enter the following:

size in points	size in millimeters
6	2.11
7	2.46

“The quality of a map is also in part an aesthetic matter. Maps should have harmony within themselves. An ugly map, with crude colors, careless line work, and disagreeable, poorly arranged lettering may be intrinsically as accurate as a beautiful map, but it is less likely to inspire confidence.” John K. Wright
