It is 1⁄6 of the historical French inch, and is divided into 12 points, known in English as French points or Didot points and a cicero is 4.5 mm. Cicero (and the points derived from cicero) was used in the early days of typography in continental Europe. In modern times, all computers use pica (and the points derived from pica) as font size measurement – alongside millimeters in countries using the metric system – for line length and paper size measurement.
