Why millimeter rather than inch or point? For text, there is a strong argument for using imperial rather than metric units. A point is 1/72th of an inch, so it converts nicely. Points don't convert so well to millimeters. Also, PDF and Postscript are points-oriented. I wouldn't buck the trend without a good reason.
huh, I disagree. Let's get rid of those imperial units once and for all ! /me hides ;-) Regards, Stefan
