In France, we now use SI units. This revolution was brought by the americans desktop publishing software who gives the user the choice of units (Pica, Cicero, inches, etc.). Twenty years ago, the use the Cidero point was universal in France. It's no more the case. We still have a few problems when we buy books from the USA. As Americans don't use standard paper dimensions (A1, A2, A4, etc.), we have to adapt the lay out with an added cost of 15 to 20 %. Nevertheless, we still use Imperial units to scan pictures : dots per inch are the present standard.
