em
In digital fonts, one works with a grid (2048x2048 for truetype and normally 1000x1000 for type 1). A cell in this grid is a unit, or Font Unit, or FUnit. The grid of cells is called the em square. The font size is both the horizontal and vertical size of the em square, and is typically reported in points. It is also called an em. If the grid is of size x times x, then we say that the font has x units per em, or that its UPM value is x. |
