In styles, why font size percent vs points?

edit

So, the font size is a percentage only when the style is inherited. I thought I checked that, but maybe I did not.

Thank you for this information. It is just what I need.

@RGB-es: I made a test and saw it works. Since I had trouble in the past with it and avoided the feature, do you know in which version it was fixed?

That feature would be very very useful in character styles if the %-size was applied to the current paragraph style instead of the regular inherited character style. Do you think it could be considered a valuable enhancement though it conflicts with standard inheritance rules?

the font size is a percentage only when the style is inherited.

It is by default a percentage, but you can edit the child style and use points (or other units for some other elements of a style) instead of a percentage. However, in such a case when you change the parent style, the hard-coded values won't change. And vice versa, you can always change a hard-coded value in a child style to a percentage to make it change in accordance with the parent style.

@ajlittoz I do not remember problems with this option (with others, maybe, but not this one ;) ). About the enhancement request: YES! I think that an option for a character style to be a percentage of the background paragraph style font size would be quite interesting!
