Captions for individual figures display in the proper (9 pt) font but those for combinations do not. See example: \definepapersize[6X9][width=6.14in, height=9.21in] \setuppapersize[6X9][6X9] \setuplayout[ width=middle, height=middle, backspace=.75 in, topspace=.5 in, header=.25 in, footer=0 in, headerdistance=.25 in, footerdistance=0 in, bottomspace=0.9 in, cutspace=.875 in, ] \setupcaptions[style={\switchtobodyfont[9pt]}, location=bottom,number=no,align=raggedcenter] \starttext \placefigure [here]{none} \startcombination[2*1] {\externalfigure[s033-1b][width=.481\textwidth]} {Martin Wheelock\\{\it Cumberland County Historical Society}\\ {\it Carlisle, PA}} {\externalfigure[041-1b][width=.459\textwidth]} {Antonio Lubo\\{\it U.
