72 pt/in x 0.25" = 18 pt ... as a ballpark: the exact size of the printed characters will depend on the font face you're using.
The default setting is for OOo to automatically adjust the character size to fill the curve; the set font size is ignored.
If you want characters of a specific size, I think you have to turn off the auto-size mode. In the fontwork dialog window, select a specific alignment (left/center/right) instead of the auto-size mode.
That's consistently been my experience with OOo's curved text: for simple, undemanding tasks, it's fine. For anything that requires good quality or exact layout, it falls far short.
Maybe other graphics software would be good enough, I don't know. I think, if you want good results in Draw, you'd have to rotate & position each character manually.
