Hi, I try to use \mag in a document, but I fail: \mag=700 \starttext \input tufte \stoptext gives me ! Incompatible magnification (700); the previous value will be retained (1000). Any way to get \mag to work? Patrick

Just curious as to why do you need mag? Can't you achieve the same visual effect using \setupbodyfont[...] or \setuppapersize? Aditya

Probably because of the .top file setting up some value that prevents subsequent changes to the magnification. (\setupoutput maybe) Taco

Probably yes, but too much thinking involved. For my purpose it is even feasible to use convert (imagemagick) to scale down the result to 75%. I need a png anyway. Patrick
