Hello
Problem solved.
Jean came up with the solution.
If you have a percentage figure in the font size for a style, just
highlight
the percentage figure and, for example, type 16pt. This turns all the
percentage figures into point sizes.
Maybe this should be in the Writer Guide.

This can be done either way. If the font size is in points, you
can enter a percentage size.

Or one can enter any of the other font-size measurements in the text
box, along with the appropriate unit or percentage (dimensionless). The
default (selected by the user via the Options) unit need not be
present--just a number will work without that unit in that case.
BTW, the US point is exactly 1/72 (1959 compromise) inch, or stated
differently--there are 72 points per Anglo-Saxon inch. The French or
German points are not the same size as the US DTP point used in US
publishing, though.
