Thank you for your explanation. Seems that we have different opinions on what "100% scale" is. I thought that "100% scale" is one on which same font at same size (e.g. Arial 12) looks equal in the interface and in the document. You seem to state that "100% scale" is one on which A4 page displayed on the screen is exactly 210 millimeters wide. With your interpretation of "100% scale", OO currently works correctly. I think that the situation when "12pt font" inside OOo and "12pt" font in system font configuration results in differently-sized fonts is confusing for users. However, I don't insist on that. Nikita
