Thomas, Luigi—

Thanks for tips: they are much appreciated. 

As it turns out, I had already reinstalled ConTeXt 2008.11.10 21:40 using TimeMachine. 

What is distressing is that the problem remains. I can either set an article with LM and Greek without proper scaling for the Greek or set the article with LM and proper Greek  but without the footnotes (arithmetic overflow).

In the first case, I have

\usetypescript[lmodern][\defaultencoding]
\starttypescript[serif][default][size]
  \definebodyfont[9.5pt,10.5pt][rm][default]
  \definebodyfont[9.5pt,10.5pt][mm][default]
\stoptypescript

and in the second

 \definebodyfont[9.5pt,10.5pt][rm][default]
 \definebodyfont[9.5pt,10.5pt][mm][default]

There is no problem with other text fonts, by the way.

Very frustrating to say the least.

Alan
