This is similar issue to #13473 and #14320. Until we find cross language solution we have to use European numbers. Fortunately European numbers can be recognized world-wide so current state can be treated as sort of workaround.

In order to introduce such change we would have to consider languages like (please see attached image): European, Arabic-Indic, Eastern Arabic-Indic, Devanagari and Tamil. Each of them uses different numbers which should be defined in language file. Font size plugin would have to use language codes for style definition names. St the moment they are hardcoded in European numbers.

NOTE: If we were to introduce language specific solution we need to remember that currently style names (e.g. 8px) are used as a backup for style value vars[ styleType ] = values[ i ] = parts[ 1 ] || name;. This could lead to problems so this is something to look out for.
