Bug Description
It would be a very useful feature to have a preference/settings option in the Document Properties metadata which provides the same functionality as the global "Edit>Preferenc
This would allow documents to not use the global units (default is Points, pt) for font size in text toolbars and text dialogs. There's already a document specific "Default units" (File>Document Properties>
Some users may want to use the same units for everything in an image to keep things simple but the document specific "Default units" doesn't include text so they won't be able to use a specific unit for a specific document's text without changing the global option which can be undesirable.
Please add this small improvement in the next version release (I am currently using 0.91 on Windows) to continue making Inkscape the great feature full, well designed, modern vector graphics drawing application than it is.

written after discussions with Gez on irc about the (costly) problems he experienced with the current state of keeping the font-size units as global preference hidden in a sub-section of the preferences dialog.
