yes, but there are also typescript that define the sizes (made more sense on low res printers) .. the current defaults have been so for many years (so the fact that you didn't notice ...)
Maybe I forgot about it.. I seem to remember a very long time ago some experiments with typescripts for computer-modern opticals, before latin modern became default (it's all foggy now..) But for sure ConTeXt used to load lmroman12-regular (or the computer-modern 12 pt) by default. So things have changed..
well you can load the design size typescript
Ok, where is that design size typescript? A search for, e.g., lmroman8-regular etc. in texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv yields no results, so it must be defined at some higher level of abstraction..
(likely we will go for \enableexperiments[fonts.compact] anyway which is also more efficient)
Ok, that would be very helpful; many thanks. Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
