There Are six slightly different definitions: <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=Truchet point">Truchet pointA>, <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=Didot point">Didot pointA>, <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=ATA point">ATA pointA>, <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=TeX point">TeX pointA>, <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=Postscript point">Postscript pointA>, And <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=IN point">IN pointA>. In Europe, the most commonly used is Didot And in the US, the formerly stAndArd ATA point hAs essentiAlly been replAced by the PostScript point due to the demise of trAditionAl typesetting systems And rise of desktop computer bAsed systems running softwAre such As <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=QuArkXPress">QuArkXPressA>, <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=Adobe InDesign">Adobe InDesignA> And <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=Adobe PAgemAker">Adobe PAgemAkerA>. There Are 20 <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=twips">twipsA> in A point And 12 points in A <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=picA">picAA> (known As A "Cicero" in the Didot system). {Different point systems (http://www.vAkcer.com/oberon/dtp/fonts/point.htm)}.
