There isn't a widely accepted international standard for a "nautical league." The nautical mile (nmi) is the more common and internationally recognized unit of measurement for distances at sea. A nautical mile is approximately equal to one minute of latitude along a meridian, and it is used worldwide for maritime and aviation navigation.
In some regions, historical or localized variations of the league may have been used in the past, but these are not part of the modern international system of measurement. It's important to note that such variations can differ by country and even within different historical periods.
For precise and internationally recognized measurements in maritime and aviation contexts, the nautical mile is the preferred unit of distance. One nautical mile is equal to approximately 1.852 kilometers or 1.15078 statute miles (land miles).
A "point" (abbreviated as "pt") is a unit of measurement commonly used in typography and desktop publishing to specify the size of text, fonts, and other elements on a printed or digital page. The point is part of a system of measurement used in the field of typesetting, which involves arranging and designing text for printed materials.
In the point system:
1 point (abbreviated as "pt") is equal to approximately 1/72nd of an inch. This means that there are approximately 72 points in 1 inch.
Points are used to define the size of fonts, leading (line spacing), and other layout details in printed materials. For example, when you specify a font size of 12 points, you are indicating that the height of the characters in that font will be roughly 1/6th of an inch or about 4.23 millimeters.
Points are still widely used in the design and printing industry, especially when specifying font sizes, line spacing, and other layout details for printed materials like books, magazines, and newspapers. In digital design and modern desktop publishing software, you can often switch between using points and other units like picas, inches, millimeters, or pixels to set and adjust the layout of text and graphic elements.
