Re: [clreq] Type size equivalents between 号 and "point" (#142)

我试试看做个英文翻译，但是有些词不知道怎么翻，要大家帮个忙。文档里的table我已经在自己的branch修改了。

There have been different size systems for Chinese characters. The traditional size system used for metal typesetting utilised numerical units. During the phototypesetting era, 级 were used as the sizing units instead. When it came to desktop publishing, font sizes were determined by the DTP point system which was built into the software itself. Currently, the traditional numerical units are still used for typesetting in many Chinese publications.

These numerical units were not standardised by the various foundries in the past. In addition, there were also differing systems based on the Americas, Europe, DTP and so on, which resulted in numerous conversion methods between numerical units and point measurements. The following table lists unit values and their most common corresponding conversions as a reference. It is not meant to be a standard.
