Hi, I am attempting to do some work with layers that can repeat (and update) using \startsetups & \stopsetups. However I find that the line spacing in a \framed in the layers is not alterable and instead tracks the font size on the page. I'm attaching a simple example (it shows the same issue under MKII and MKIV, although the \vbox{} example does not work under MKII).

If you remove the \startsetups and \stopsetups the line spacing works like it should. While they are used, the line spacing in the layer's \framed tracks the setting in \switchtobodyfont[12pt]. It does not track to either 6pt or 8pt. And I can't find a way to reset the spacing (I tried adding in a \setupinterlinespace[reset]).

Am I doing something wrong? I've tried with MKIV 2009.06.03 and 2009.08.07, and MKII at contextgarden.

Thanks! Brian

\setupbodyfont[8pt]% \starttext \definelayer[RCheaderleft][preset=lefttop,width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight]% \definelayer[RCheaderright][preset=lefttop,width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight]% \startsetups[RClayers]% \setlayer[RCheaderleft][hoffset=\backspace,voffset=\topspace]{\vbox{Line 1\\ Line 2}}% \setlayer[RCheaderright][hoffset=\backspace,voffset=\topspace] {\switchtobodyfont[6pt]\framed[align={middle,flushright},width=broad]{Line 1\\ Line 2}}% \stopsetups \setupbackgrounds[page][setups=RClayers,background={RCheaderleft,RCheaderright}]%

\switchtobodyfont[12pt] \dorecurse{250}{test\par} \stoptext

there is a difference between: \setupbodyfont : global usage, document wide \switchtobodyfont : local usage, does not affect the header, footer etc so, when the backgrounds are constructed, the 8pt is in charge Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
