i am going to convert couple Lotus Forms forms to web pages. So i checked what it uses for font size. It is pt, which make me think that it is point. I tried same values for font sizes, like Arial,Bold,7pt. BUT, text in webpage is smaller than text in Lotus Forms. and it is easy to chatch, not a difference that requires magnifier.

Which leads to that, Lotus Forms and browsers use different kind of point(s). I have searched and found that there might be different point(s). http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/metric-typo/ So what is Lotus Forms's point and what is browser's point?
