when yyou use several bodyfonts you can do this before \starttext:

Thank you for the information, Hans!

Could you please also shed some light on the relation/difference among \{setup,switchto,use}bodyfont? There seems to be not much documentation on this. Can one conclude, from the wiki https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/switchtobodyfont and the source code https://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/mkiv/font-ini.mklx#l2287, that they are mostly the same, except that \switchtobodyfont is restricted to the content area, and \usebodyfont is a helper to call \setupbodyfont in the beginning?

If this is the case, is it recommended to always put a \setupbodyfont[...] in the beginning, even if it's just a \setupbodyfont[modern]? One reason might be that the following example somehow enlarges the page number in the header, intuitively contradicting what is claimed by the wiki https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/switchtobodyfont:

    \switchtobodyfont[dejavu]     \starttext \switchtobodyfont[dejavu, 24pt]a\stoptext

\setup is document wide \switch is for local usage (has to do with picking up font/space related issues after page breaks and when typesetting page ornaments like headers and footers) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
