[Therion] FW: "Passage height" question

[Bruce]

I just produced a pdf plan map in feet from an entirely metric dataset.
As easy as adding 

units imperial

to the layout.
If modified the scalebar and elevations, but not the co-ordinate system
units.  (It is a metric only co-ordinate system so I suppose that is OK)

Easy peasy I think.

Next thing is to add a language Englishimperial so that users can add dual
language labels, once with metric pitch heights and one with imperial pitch
heights.

It should do. But the GNU licence! So we should wait for Stacho to  
check it. :(
