Hi,

I have to reproduce a book layout that was done in Adobe Indesign, and I don’t really manage to get the right fontsizes, i.e. according to Acrobat Pro the fonts are consistently a bit smaller then expected. That may well be an Adobe problem, it’s just that I have to aim for rather specific target values... As you can see below the deviation is not so significant with the normal font size and bigger sizes, but more so with the smaller sizes.

The TeX point is smaller than the PostScript/DTP point. Use the unit "bp" to get the same sizes as in desktop apps. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_(typography) Hraban
