Hmm,a TeX pt, strange... however, this is not as easy as I thought

Actually I did. I mean maybe you're right on pts being the standard so
far, but there's no point for this really. The metric system is a lot
better. Actually the only thing I don't use it for so far is font
sizes... I'm just used to pts there, but e.g. stroke widths I like in mm
a lot more.
So even though most proprietary DTPs will stick to Inches, for two more
years or more, I think open software should move to the metric system.
I'm sure, most designers wouldn't mind, actually all non US designers
will like it.

But whatever.
