setting size for mainfont or sansfont in stable simplefonts
Hello, I'm using the simplefonts module from TeX Live 2013. (I can't use the new simplefonts for this production project, due to stability requirements.) I have the following, which works well for the most part: \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic] \usemodule[simplefonts][size=9.2pt] \setmainfont[Gentium Book Basic] \setsansfont[Tex Gyre Heros] \starttext Serif typeface: regular, {\em italic}, {\bf bold} and {\bf\em bold italic} styles. \ss Sans--serif typeface: regular, {\em italic}, {\bf bold} and {\bf\em bold italic} styles. \stoptext Because the Tex Gyre Heros font is larger than Gentium Book Basic at a given point size, when I compile this document, there is a size mismatch between the serif and the sans typefaces. So I looked for a way to give the sans font a smaller default size. I couldn't find an example of such at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/simplefonts. I tried this: \setsansfont[Tex Gyre Heros][size=8pt] but it didn't seem to have any effect. Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do? I could use \switchtobodyfont[8pt] every time I go to sans, but I don't think that's the intention of simplefonts. Thanks, Lars

\setsansfont[…][scale=0.95] Wolfgang
