2.6667 x whatever font size you use at 1/4" scale. (1/4")รท(3/32")
Just realised that that probably isn't what you need. That would be to print at 3/32" = 1'-0" ... back to the drawing board!
Since (for example):
1/4" = 1'-0" = 1:48 ... then use (3/32) x 48 = 4.5"
1/8" = 1'-0" = 1:96 ... then use (3/32) x 96 = 9"
Obviously, substitute whatever factor you need for the scale of your drawing.
