  The unit @code{pt} stands for pints; the name @code{point} stands for
! a typographical point, defined by @samp{72 point = 1 in}.  This is
! slightly different than the point defined by the American Typefounder's
! Association in 1886, but the point used by Calc has become standard
! largely due to its use by the PostScript page description language.
! There is also @code{texpt}, which stands for a printer's point as
! defined by the @TeX{} typesetting system:  @samp{72.27 texpt = 1 in}.
! Other units used by @TeX{} are available; they are @code{texpc} (a pica),
! @code{texbp} (a ``big point'', equal to a standard point which is larger
! than the point used by @TeX{}), @code{texdd} (a Didot point),
! @code{texcc} (a Cicero) and @code{texsp} (a scaled @TeX{} point, 
! all dimensions representable in @TeX{} are multiples of this value).
