Tips & Best Practices
- Remember that the en unit depends on the current font size, so conversions are relative.
- Use this converter in contexts where precise physical unit measurements are required.
- Consider font size context to interpret conversion results accurately.
Limitations
- The value of an en varies since it represents half the em, which depends on font size.
- Historical printer's point definitions differ regionally, causing possible minor inconsistencies.
- Conversion is context-sensitive and best used with known font sizes.
