A. Hard-coding the units (r11608) in the style attribute of text objects
potentially does cause trouble if the SVG file is rendered by other
viewers (e.g. web browsers). Text with units other than 'px' apparently
may scale differently than the rest

Super exciting stuff!
As for the issue of Inkscape assuming font sizes, I think we need to
assume it's px unless the font size explicitly includes a unit type.
Issue 1: When using "em", the preview size in the Text & Font dialog
looks like it's still using px to calculate it. (probably related to
Patch with these improvements:
* Fixed arrow tooltip
* Points is the default font unit. Do we also assume svg like "font-size;10" is
also 10pt ? Currently it is assumed 10px.

preferred unit
* Added em unit preference.

As was stated above by Tom Davidson, there's a couple of ways to convert
between inkscape pixels and points. And both are tedious :-p
You can manually change the size of every type object using the XML editor, or
use a factor of 1.25 to convert the desired point size into pixels.
Inkscape uses a
Inkscape uses a resolution of 90dpi for the "real-size"
representation. So, if you create a 90x90px square it will be 1x1
inches in "real" units.
A typographic point is 1/72 of an inch, which is equal to a resolution
of 72 dpi.
90/72=1.25. So 1.25 is the factor you can use to translate between

Please let me point out the following: AFAIK, the px/user unit is a
