--- Comment #37 from Luke <[email protected]> --- Word, WordPerfect, and Google Docs are all Office Suites. They all use the point for Line Spacing, Font size, and Line Width. *This is the natural unit for typography.* This is what our default should be. LibreOffice is an Office Suite and should follow this model. Using an image editor, GIMP, that is notorious for having a poorly designed UI[1] as our model to follow is how we will get relighted to obscurity for our overly complex UI. Having the user set the measurement unit on a per dialog basis will be a UI disaster just like GIMP. We have a perfectly good model to follow that millions of office users use every day and are happy with. Let's not screw this up with a over-engineered, extremely complex solution when a simple solution exists: Use 2 classes, a general measurement unit of in. or mm.(page, margin, ruler dimensions etc.) And a typography class where point is commonly used(line spacing, font, line width etc). This is how other Office Suites work. This is the correct solution for the vast majority of Office users.
