Hi Mojca, Both your example and Wolfgang's suggestion work fine with my installation (Minimals on Mac OS X 10.6.3, ConTeXt ver: 2010.08.20 00:00) either with mkii, or mkiv. Maybe you ahve a problem with your installation? Best regards: OK On 27 août 2010, at 16:53, Mojca Miklavec wrote:

Dear list,

how can I prevent a blank page in front of title page in MKIV (apart from the fact that font switching is not working)? In MKII this is working perfectly fine.

\starttext \startstandardmakeup {\switchtobodyfont[50pt]\bf\centerline{Title}} \vskip 3cm {\switchtobodyfont[20pt]\centerline{\sl(manual)}} % \sl doesn't work either \stopstandardmakeup

Try to avoid \switchtobodyfont if possible.

\startstandardmakeup[align=middle] {\definedfont[Bold at 50pt]Title} \blank[3cm] {\definedfont[Slanted at 20pt](manual)} \stopstandardmakeup

I don't know what exactly is going on here, but not even \definedfont[Bold at 50pt] changes the font size. (Yes, I agree that it's a much better option to use this in comparison to \switchtobodyfont, I only slightly forgot about this alternative; thanks; but it doesn't work any better at the moment.)

(It could be something weird with my installation as well.)

it must be as there is always a fallback font name that then would scale to the 50pt so you should see something large Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
