Hi Mojca,
taken from 'TeX by Topic', page 80:
1157 didot points are 1238 points.
1238/1157= 1.070008643
I have tried it with 10.7pt. Looks the same. Mixed up bp with pt?
I'm sorry, I was first confused by this example: \switchtobodyfont[10pt]\setupinterlinespace\page \input tufte \switchtobodyfont[10dd]\setupinterlinespace\page \input tufte % interlinespace remained the same for both pt and dd which (for whatever reason) lead to different result as in the expected: \switchtobodyfont[10pt]\setupinterlinespace\page \input tufte \switchtobodyfont[10dd]\setupinterlinespace\page \input tufte And then, yes, I accidentally mixed the two points up. I'm sorry. Someone wanted to convince me that it is not possible to use didot points in ConTeXt and I was a bit confused when I was testing it. Hans, thank you for the (probably very important) remark about the font sizes (\chardef\fontdigits=1). Can it be that exactly this rounding to one decimal point screwed up font handling in proper didot point sizes? Don't ask me why, but apparently these minimalistic differences are pretty important in publishing. Mojca
