Thanks for providing the blueprint font. Good old hand drawn style. A disadvantage of these converted tff fonts is they are quite large in data size.
I'm a bit sceptical about your thought to place a downscaled drawing (or several ones) onto an unscaled papersize template. LibreCAD doesn't have a procedure for that, a workaround may be very complicated. Do you think of importing drawing files as a block, which is scaled at inserting? When scaling a dimension line the text size doesn't get scaled. There also is a problem with hatchings disappearing after scaling. This has been cured to an extent in the 2.2.0 alpha series (nightlies). You might test this.
Also layer behaviour of the imported blocks may prove troublesome.
However, I'm curious about the results of your experiments. If you succeed you could provide a "how to".
Good luck
