Best Answer

A font is a style of typeface such as Helvetica or Courier.

Points describe the size of the font. The definition has changed but usually there are 72 points to the inch. This distance is often used to measure the approximate height of the font with room to spare. Typically the vertical distance from the top of a capital G to the bottom of a lower case g plus a small gap.
