Here is a patch that allows the user to set their preferred font size unit in 
the User preferences (Tools->Text->Text size unit) from px, pt, pc, mm, cm and 
in.
The text toolbar and text dialog will then show the font sizes in the users 
preferred unit with the tooltip showing the unit.
When text is modified or size changed, the font-size is converted from the 
units in the file to the users preferred units.
letter-spacing and word-spacing remain in pixels.
Internally pixels are still used for all calculations, only the file output and 
UI are shown the size units.

Please test if you can. Any ideas for changes ?
