Text inside block to remain constant height when block is scaled?

I want to create a block made with text objects that will remain the same size in the model when the entire block is scaled. 

 

For example: I always want the text inside a block to appear 1/8" tall in the model space. When the block reference is scaled up to 1.25 in the overall model, I want the text to be scaled down 1/1.25 so that the text remains 1/8" tall while the other objects are enlarged by 1.25. Scaling the block reference down to 0.8 will scale the text up to 1/0.8.

 

Is there a way to create a function inside the "Text Height" property of a text object that will scale its height to the inverse of the "Scale X" or "Scale Y" property of the block instance it belongs to?
