Mismatched font size when switching fonts in the chapter title
Mismatched font size when switching fonts in the chapter title \setupbodyfont[12pt] \definefontsynonym[PalatinoRoman][name:palatinolinotyperoman][features=default] \definefont[AnotherFont][PalatinoRoman sa 1] \starttext \chapter{On \AnotherFont Fonts} General readers \stoptextIt seems that if switching to another font in the chapter title, the size of these two typefaces is mismatched. This will produce the mismatched font size("On" and "Font"), how to deal with this problem? Tim Li
Hi Tim, [PalatinoRoman sa 1] This means "PalatinoRoman scaled at 1 x bodyfontsize. The document's body font size is 12 pt, but chapter headers usually are ... like, about 2.4 * body font size? Hence the size mismatch. [PalatinoRoman sa *] This means "AnotherFont is PalatinoRoman scaled to 1 x the font size at time of calling. Compare these two MWE's (I've changed the font name to texgyrepagellaregular so that the example will work for any ConTeXt user.) \setupbodyfont[12pt] \definefontsynonym[PalatinoRoman][texgyrepagellaregular][features=default] \definefont[AnotherFontSaOne][PalatinoRoman sa 1] \definefont[AnotherFontSaStar][PalatinoRoman sa *] \starttext \chapter{Fonts and \AnotherFontSaOne Fonts} Generalized \AnotherFontSaOne Generals.

(Adapt to current size) \stoptext I got this information from page 5 of the Fonts chapter of the long-coming manual. (Not the same as the document detailing what you can do with OTF and Lua, although I think that one, too, is called a fonts manual.) http://context.aanhet.net/svn/contextman/context-reference/en/co-fonts.pdf Cheers, Sietse
Sietse, Thanks for your detailed explanation. With your help, I have known the reason. Also, I am reading the new chapter on fonts. Best regards,Tim> From: sbbrouwer@gmail.com
