Recently i brought a Android phone for my father and he complained the default font size are small, browsing web site is not a problem caused can use zoom in and out function but Android system setting function is so hard for him, sometimes tap wrongly. I went through Android Market finding a change font size Android apps but most of apps need Android phone rooted,finally i found a Android app that no need phone rooted,that is 「Big Font (change font size) 」.
Install Big Font

As swipe right can adjust font size to 110%,115% and 130%, decrease font size to 85% and 90% swipe to left, remember tab 「Apply 」 after select your prefer font size.
