How does that relate to pt or inches? |
|
|
1 quad = 48 pt = 18,0412 mm |

Wikipedia: "Em quad, in typography, a space that is as wide as the height of the font" I am not found any other definitions for quad unit and any one of quadrant unit. Google gets nothing about this. Maybe it is some local unit used in one country? 48 points are also called "canon". See it is also 4 picas and it has some sense. But how sizes are noticed with that unit? Pica has notation "picas,points"... Better than add one new exotic unit is to implement way for defining new units by user? |

The numbers I quoted come from a Russian encyclopedy indeed. Yes, I think being able tosetup your own units could be a way forward, especially if the system will be flexible enough for cases such as 0006436 |
