Hi Dick,
Sorry if my messages left the impression this is what I meant: I didn't.
Further inside the NSRulerView doc,
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsrulerview/1534137-registerunit
seems to say a point here is a PostScript point (1/72 inch).
So I have no idea why 30 pt within this context seems to amount to 4 characters for Menlo 12 pt.
