Thanks for taking the trouble for what was really simple, but seems undocumented (?)

Some other units: mm Millimetres cm Centimetres in Inches em em width, depends on the font ex ex height, depends on the font pc Picas (1pc = 12pt) pt Points (1in = 72.27pt)

There’s also bp (big points). We have the difference between TeX points (pt) and PostScript points (bp) in ConTeXt like in every other TeX: 1 pt = 1/72,27 in = 0,3515 mm (traditional American printer’s point) 1 bp = 1/72 in = 0,3528 mm (after the Anglo-Saxon compromise inch of 1959 = 25.4 mm) (1 "Didot" point, traditionally used in Europe, was 0,376 mm) See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_(typography) Greetlings from Lake Constance!
