It takes a BIG number!  Just what unit is text height measured in?

I tried 50 and could see a line, one pixel high and rather short, like a very tiny bump on the dimension line.  Same with 100.  Changed the text height to 1,000 and it was finally big enough to read.

Also, is the scale in the Current Drawing Preferences different from the scale in the "regular" text box when I want to add other text to my work?  I have that set on 5 and the text is a bit larger than what I got changing the height in Current Drawing Preferences to 1,000.
