<pre>The description of <a class="bz_bug_link

title="NEW - Different Measurement Units for Line vs Page Properties (e.g. point vs inch)"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=72662">Bug 72662</a> is about not using the standard, universally
accepted units for font size and line spacing. One proposed solution makes it
easier for the users to work around this UI failure. However it not clear at
even that poor solution would directly fix this issue without further work.
A much better solution would be to directly address this specific UI issue,
rather than try to come up with a generic fix that makes the user micromanage
units that shouldn’t have to be micromanaged.

very similar to this where they can choice multiples vs line spacing in its
natural unit, points. Writer does something similar with a drop down.
It's much better to address cases like this individually, rather than expect
the user to constantly manage every type of unit. We have natural units for a
reason.</pre>
