Try using sp unit for your font size.

sp

Scale-independent Pixels - this is like the dp unit, but it is also scaled by the user's font size preference. It is recommend you use this unit when specifying font sizes, so they will be adjusted for both the screen density and user's preference.

Take sometime reading this to understand the different measurement units used in Andriod as well.
