Thank you very much Pablo, indeed it helps :) Meanwhile I had found a solution by putting as well title and subtitle (author name) into groups \begingroup ... \endgroup but your braces solution is less typing and less distraction from the text.

I have started to design a title page for a paper.

First comes an information block at bodyfont size \tf (all in sans serif), followed by the title of the paper in \bfd, then the author (=me) in \bfa. The information block that follows then should be in bodyfont size again, but it isn’t, it is too tall. What am I missing about font switching? Is it maybe because it is a makeup page?

Hi Jörg,

"pagestate=stop" is the default in makeups, so you don’t need to add it.

\tf only changes the font to roman, but not the size. I don’t know whether there is a switch that does that.

The best way avoid problems when using font switches is to enclose them in braces.

Such as in (complete sample):

\definemakeup[titlepage][doublesided=no]

\starttext

\starttitlepagemakeup[top=,]

{\ss

information \crlf about \crlf university \crlf and \crlf course \par}

\blank[4*line]

{\bfd \ss

Paper \par}

\blank

{\bfa \ss

by me}

\blank[4*line]

{\ss

my \crlf information, \crlf adress \crlf etc.}

\stoptitlepagemakeup

I hope it helps,

Pablo

For a titlepage I suggest to use a different mechanism to select a certain font style and size. You can also use \definedfont[…]{…} instead of \startfont[…] … \stopfont. \definemakeup[titlepage][doublesided=no] \starttext \starttitlepagemakeup[top=] \startfont[Sans] \startlines information about university and course \stoplines \stopfont \blank[4*line] \startfont[SansBold sa d] Paper \stopfont \blank \startfont[SansBold sa b] by me \stopfont \blank[4*line] \startfont[Sans] \startlines my information, adress etc. \stoplines \stopfont \stoptitlepagemakeup \stoptext Wolfgang
