Exclaimer products use Points throughout the signatures to define font sizes. This can get confusing when taking font sizes from other applications where they may use a Pixel value instead of a Point value.
For example, your web developer has provided you with an HTML document and all font sizes are in Pixels, but you require the use of Points in the template.
NOTE: Microsoft Outlook uses Points for all font sizes.
We recommend! Common font sizes:
- 11pt - 12pt for larger text
- 10pt - 8pt for contact details
- 8pt - 7pt for disclaimers
Please see the table below as a generic guide for the font values that are typically used:
| Pixels | Points | Keyword |
|---|---|---|
| 8px | 6pt | |
| 9px | 7pt | |
| 10px | 7.5pt | x-small |
| 11px | 8pt | |
| 12px | 9pt | |
| 13px | 10pt | small |
| 14px | 10.5pt | |
| 15px | 11pt | |
| 16px | 12pt | medium |

If you are looking for a value that is not in the chart above, a handy conversion can be seen below:
1.33px = 1pt
An example here would be 13px = 10pts rounded to the nearest whole number in pixel form.
