GIMP's font size control for reference.

Krita's text tool uses a droplist to control font size. However the values are
hardcoded with increasingly bigger intervals. These preset values are not
sufficient. In most cases it is impossible to get an ideal font size with this
current setup. 

As a workaround for now, we can use transformation tool on Text objects to do
the fine-tuning. However, this is probably not a new user would think of. Most
people would like to get it right in the editor because in that way a single
font size can be easily used across all text blocks.

I suggest we:
1) Replace the droplist with an input box with +/- buttons.
2) Add units as a droplist. 
3) Allow point values like 12.5 pt for better fine-tunning.
