VCL's historical use of integer coordinates results in many subtle rounding and 
layout issues, especially 
when roundtrips between different integer based coordinate systems are 
involved. E.g. Writer's coordinate 
system is based on TWIPs, Calc+Impress+Draw are MM100TH based, the historic 
SalGraphics devices are 
pixel based. The infamous "dancing characters" are a result of the rounding 
problems when going from 
VCL to Writer and back.

Addressing all the related issues in the whole OOo code base is way too 
dangerous and burdensome. A 
staggered approach seems to be the most reasonable thing. This issue will be 
used to start the work in 
VCL.
