how to convert font size to pt number ?
style={\switchtobodyfont[somefont,somefontsize]} digests font sizes expressed in pt. What's the command to convert font sizes ( for example \tfc ) to their corresponding pt number ? Alan

See http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Font_Switching#Font_sizes Aditya
Thanks for your quick response Aditya. I've read that too and unfortunately don't find anything on that page that answers my question. Hmmm... Either the question was not clear enough or I've been smoking the carpet... :O) Let's try to formulate it otherwise... With somefont defined through \definetypeface[somefont][...] style={\switchtobodyfont[somefont,huge]} gives a compile error, only, for example, style={\switchtobodyfont[somefont,14pt]} works like in \setuphead[chapter][style={\switchtobodyfont[somefont,14pt]}] I don't want to manually input some pt size but, for example, the \tfc or huge corresponding pt size. Therefore I'm looking for - the ConTeXtMagicCommand to convert \ConTexTMagicCommand[\tfc or huge] to "\tfc or huge size expressed in pt" or - some other ConTeXtSuperMagic trick to display the chapter heading in somefont and \tfc or huge size I guess I could \chapter{\tfc chaptertitle}, however I'm looking for something more generic so I only have to input chapter{chaptertitle}. Cheers, Alan

What's wrong with \setuphead[chapter][style=\tfc] % or style={\tfc\yourfont} ? Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

\definefont[chapterfont][yourfont sa 1.728] \setuphead[chapter][style=chapterfont] Regards, Wolfgang

I wanted to say that by default, \tfa = 1.2 times \tf size, tfb is 1.44 times \tf size, tfc = 1.728 times \tf size, tfd = 2.074 times \tf size, and tfe = 2.488 times \tf size. So you can always use (in a 10 point document) \definefont[chapterfont][Sans sa 1.728] \setuphead[chapter][style=chapterfont]

With somefont defined through \definetypeface[somefont][...]
style={\switchtobodyfont[somefont,huge]} gives a compile error, only, for example, style={\switchtobodyfont[somefont,14pt]} works
like in \setuphead[chapter][style={\switchtobodyfont[somefont,14pt]}]
I don't want to manually input some pt size but, for example, the \tfc or huge corresponding pt size.
Therefore I'm looking for
- the ConTeXtMagicCommand to convert \ConTexTMagicCommand[\tfc or huge] to "\tfc or huge size expressed in pt"
or
- some other ConTeXtSuperMagic trick to display the chapter heading in somefont and \tfc or huge size
The default values of \tfa etc can be changed by \definefont. If these values have not been changed, then you can use: \definefont[chapterfont][Sans sa \magfactor3] \setuphead[chapter][style=chapterfont] \magfactor is defined in font-ini.tex as \def\magfactor#1% {\ifcase#1 1.000\or1.200\or1.440\or1.728\or2.074\or2.488\or1\fi} so \magfactor 3 is equal to \tfc in size. You can also use a more plain TeX like syntax as \definefont[chapterfont][Sans scaled \magstep3] where \magstep is defined in font-ini.tex as \def\magstep#1% {\ifcase#1 \@m\or1200\or1440\or1728\or2074\or2488\or\@m\fi} Aditya

This will actually work for any sized document.
\definefont[chapterfont][Sans sa 1.728] \setuphead[chapter][style=chapterfont]

Simple solutions from generous posters. Thanks all. I was too focussed on the switchtobodyfont command. Have a great weekend, Alan

gives a compile error at \chapter{chapter title} :
! Font \**chapterfont**:=somefont at 20.736pt not loadable: metric data not found or bad
somefont is only a placeholder for a real font name or a style like Serif, Sans ...
However
\setuphead[chapter][style=\tfc\somefont] works OK.
\setuphead[chapter][style=\tfc\somefont] \starttext \chapter{Chapter} \stoptext This gives me a error message, give us working samples.
\setupbodyfont[somefont,12pt] also work OK, while
How should we know, it's hard to give you an answer with just one line of code.
\setupbodyfont[chapterfont,12pt] defaults to LM font
Uh ?
You have no typeface with the name 'chapterfont'.
