Windows Phone 8.1 Different text size for different screen dimension

I am developing a windows runtime app for windows phone, i need to scale the text based on the screen dimension.

for handle the image scaling i have used the 3 folder(scale-100, scale-140 and scale-240)

In the app I have different style for different kind of text(title, subtitle...)

is there any way to apply different style based on the screen size?

Following solution is for Windows (Phone) RT, not for WP Silverlight.

The resource system of Windows RT is much more powerful than a lot of people know. You're not only able to use scaling for images, the same works for resource (.resw) files, even a combination of language/scaling is possible. Simply use the correct naming conventions: e.g. Resources.scale-140.resw.

And then you're able to put about every single attached/dependency property in your resource file, leveraging the resource system based on x:Uid.

<Grid x:Uid="MainGrid">
    <TextBlock x:Uid="MyTextBlock" />
</Grid>

Resource file

You can run a few of the different emulator sizes to test if everything works as desired.
