Set Dynamic Text Font size to px instead of pt?

Greetings. 

I'm trying to create an Animate project to match a client-provided photoshop template. 

I am having difficulting matching the font size of the dynamic text that will need to be in the project, as the font setting in Animate is stuck on pt, which as far as I can tell is a completely meaningless and arbitrary unit. Setting the photoshop template to give the font in point and using that number results in a dynamic text box that is clearly much, much smaller than desired. The fact that the photoshop template shows a different number for the fontsize when I switch it between pt and px trivially disproves the rants that make up most of my results on this support community when I search for this subject.

I have already attempted setting the document settings to pixels; however, the font size in the dynamicText box does not seem to care about that. Neither does it respond to me manually typing px within it. 

Any solution to fixing the setting, or a detailed explanation as to how to translate the points from one project into the points of another would be greatly appreciated. Surely there must be a small fundemental unit of some sort underlying the entire process, and I would love to know what it is.
