Bug Description
Inkscape 0.45 calculates font size too small.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create new document in Inkscape
- Write letter "t" as text with font: "Arial", size 11
- Change units in toolbar to mm
- height of letter "t" is 2.193 mm
Other programs like GIMP, Corel Draw, etc. produce a larger size of about
2.8 mm
This messes up im- and export to other programs a lot because it is hard to
create the correct font size.
Thanks for looking into this.

I don't know how to view in mm, but I created text to fit just inside of a
box, and it looked just that way when I opened it in GIMP, so I don't think
there is a problem, because relative sizes are the same.
