--- Comment #1 from brinzing <ol...@gmx.de> ---
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/BASIC_Guide/Properties:

> To ensure platform independence for the appearance of dialogs, OpenOffice.org uses
> the Map AppFont (ma) internal unit to specify the position and size within dialogs.
> An ma unit is defined as being one eighth of the average height of a character from
> the system font defined in the operating system and one quarter of its width.
> By using ma units, OpenOffice.org ensures that a dialog looks the same on different
> systems under different system settings.
> If you want to change the size or position of control elements for runtime,
> determine the total size of the dialog and adjust the values for the control
> elements to the corresponding part ratios.
> The Map AppFont (ma) replaces the Twips unit to achieve better platform independence.
