Maybe the following link does help you a little bit:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_%28typography%29
If you use truetype fonts it should not be a problem to print them in the
correct size.

I just found the following in my VB description:
1440 Twips = 1 inch
1 Twips = 1/20 point (DTP)
1 cm = 567 Twips
1 point = 0,3515 cm (72 dpi)
maybe this is also useful.
