I'am trying to convert a doc to ConTeXt, and I'm also trying to make it as close to the original as possible. How do the command below translate to ConTeXt? 1. \geometry{a4paper, textwidth=5.5in, textheight=8.5in, marginparsep=7pt, marginparwidth=.6in} 2. \scriptsize => \tfxx? 3. \LARGE and \Large 4. \Huge and \HUGE thanks

For a4 paper use \setuppapersize[a4][a4] For setting geometry, see \setuplayout.
2. \scriptsize => \tfxx?
3. \LARGE and \Large
4. \Huge and \HUGE
Semantically, \scriptsize = \tfxx, \Large et. al. are \tfa \tfb \tfc \tfd \tfe, but that may not give you visually the same appearance due to different defaults in Latex and Context. In Latex, these sizes are set as part of the documentclass, or size10.clo, size12.clo, etc. So, the most reliable way to reconstruct the visual appearance will be to figure out what sizes they correspond to in latex, and then set the context font environmet to match the latex values.

Where do you got this information? The correct setup is \setuppapersize[A4][A4]. Wolfgang

Sorry. I always use letter paper, and was extrapolating in my head :-) Aditya

\tfe doesn't seem to work, the others do.

Only sizes upto \tfd are predefined but you could define more. \definefontsize[e] \definefontsize[f] \definebodyfontenvironment [default] [e=2.488, f=2.986] \starttext \tf tf \par \tfa tfa \par \tfb tfb \par \tfc tfc \par \tfd tfd \par \tfe tfe \par \tff tff \par \stoptext Wolfgang

It's a bit strange that \tfe is not defined: in font-ini.mkiv \def\magstep#1% \relax removed, otherwise space after it sticks, else added {\ifcase#1 \@m\or1200\or1440\or1728\or2074\or2488\or\@m\fi} so \magstep5 is defined -- luigi
