set target reassigned to bh The ruler measurement unit can be set independently of the global measurement unit, but all measurements other than the ruler (including tab stops) use the global measurement unit. This won't resolve the issue, of course, but it might help a few people in the short term who would at least like to use either inches or cm for the ruler while being able to leave the general measurement units on pts for working with the style. It might also help to state that I believe there are 72 pts per inch. The best solution is of course to allow every measurement unit to be chosen indepently of all others. Out of votes currently, but would like to voice my support for this issue. While the general units of measurement may be cm or inches, points is what makes most sense for paragraph spacing, since decision about this spacing is based primarily on font size. To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements". |
