Why does ruler display incorrect unit?

[kattatonic1]

I have this set to inches:
Tools/Options/General/Units

The rulers display number of characters or something. It doesn't matter if I
change it to cm or anything else. The units on the rulers do not change. What
else effects the units on the ruler?

Greatly appreciate anyone's assistance!
