Does anyone have a PDF of a Type measuring chart? I used to have a special ruler that measures font size. Its really helpful when recreating print jobs.

I have a pica scale at home that has font measurements on it, I think, I haven't broken it out in a while (if i even still have it) If no one else has anything by then, i'll see if I could scan it for you, if I can find it, that is. Boy I'm not really any help at all! :)

Oh don't go to that much trouble. :)
Other than my pica scale (missing) I had a document that has point measurements on it. I'll keep digging. Thanks anyways.

We have to recreate designs all the time at my work. We call it an E-Gauge here because it uses the letter E to gauge the type size. I started a thread a while back about it. (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22255) The one in the thread was given to us by another print company - great giveaway tool!
