There are no rulers. What is it that you are you trying to achieve, that you need a ruler for?

I have 500-700 units width glyphs. When grid appears with zoom it is already useless.

I found that I can change grid units in fort info and it appears sooner. But it destructs my outline.

Try the subdivision. The effective snapping is determined by grid step divided by subdivision.
