I am trying to make a label for a beer can. The warning text is required to be 2mm in height. I have tried to use the text tool and set the size by mm but if I set it to 2mm it only make the text height 1.27mm when I am checking with the measure tool. I am using Calibri light font. Which direction is the text tool using to make the size?

As Rich says, but if plain/undecorated text is an important part of the project, a typesetting app like Scribus is a better choice (Gimp can still be used to produce the image(s) inserted in the text.

Have you tried using scale layer to adjust the size after it has been made?
