You need to be using LaTeX, if I understand your request correctly:

    \def\textOne{\fontfamily{phv}\fontsize{38}{95}\selectfont}
    \def\textTwo{\fontfamily{phv}\fontsize{16}{24}\selectfont}

Read fntguide.pdf for font selection details in LaTeX.
In short,
   \fontfamily{phv}   chooses Helvetica,
   \fontsize{38}{95}   chooses 38 pt type with 95pt baseline skip,
and
   \selectfont   does what it says :)

Hope that helps,
Will
