Hello, I want to use truly huge (40pt) fonts for chapter numbers. In my latex code, I used \newfont{\chapterNumber}{pplr9d scaled 7000} From the context manual, I thought that \definebodyfont [11pt] [rm] [ tfH=cmr12 scaled 7000] should do it. Though the above code doesn't throw any errors, it doesn't do anything. What am I doing wrong? *MWE* \definebodyfont [11pt] [rm] [ tfH=cmr12 scaled 7000] \starttext {\tfH 1} \stoptext Devendra

\definebodyfont [default] [tfH=cmr12 scaled 7000] works for me. Or you can use: \definefont [TitleFont] [Serif at 40pt] \starttext \TitleFont FooBar \stoptext Marco

Marco I just updated by ConTeXt (ver: 2013.02.05 22:32 MKIV) and tried again. *\definefont* works but
\definebodyfont [default] [tfH= cmr12 scaled 7000] still does not work and also wipes out definitions for \tfa \tfx etc. So {\tfa 1}{\tf 1}{\tfx 1} will just yield 111 Thank you, Devendra My MWE is: \definebodyfont [default] [tfH=cmr12 scaled 7000] \definefont [TitleFont] [Serif at 40pt] \starttext {\tfH 1}{\tf 1}{\tfx 1}\\ {\TitleFont 1. FooBar} \stoptext

You're totally right.
My MWE is: […]
\definefontsize [H] \definebodyfontenvironment [default] [H=7] \definefont [TitleFont] [Serif at 40pt] \starttext {\tfH 1} {\tf 1} {\tfx 1}\\ {\TitleFont 1. FooBar} \stoptext Marco
