I would like to see consistant use of units in Abi as well (dropdown
selection vs. specifiaction in text entry) and consider tackling this
after the 2.2 release.
What do you think of having a global setting which can be overwritten by
a document specific setting? Some exceptions will probably remain, as
IMO lots of users would like to have font size in pt always.
