How hard is this to do from a code standpoint? It is incredibly easy to do. It
probably wouldn't even result in MORE code. It would probably require the
change of a variable somewhere that determines the number of decimal places.
My suggestion is to:
i) File an issue;
ii) Sign the JCA;
iii) Submit a patch that incorporates the change;
iv) Open a duplicate issue with the patch. [The first one being
closed because of the "OOo is never going to be a desktop publisher'
mentality"]
that OO CANNOT be as good as a page layout program.
More that historically, the gatekeepers have point blank refused to
even consider enhancement requests that could even remotely construed
as providing any desktop publisher capability to OOo.

Does your Office Suite conform to ISO Standards?
I already filed an issue: #45593. I am not equipped to write code. I
have written some code in Pascal for HP graphics workstations long ago,
but it's a whole other ballgame to write in C++ with all the
requirements for working on OO.
Besides, there is someone out there who could do it in a few minutes if
they would just stop being so metric-centric, or whatever the issue is.
Thank you.
