Understood.= I also found a chapter on fonts which I presume will go in a manual yet to= be written. In that chapter I found a \definefont command which should all= ow me to emulate my previous use of the \font commmand.

In my work = I frequently adjust font sizes by tiny increments to help fit text better o= n a specific page etc. And customers sometimes want a specific decorative f= ont at a specific size. And the \font command is very direct. For this reas= on in both LaTeX and Context I tend to revert to the primitive.

The new tas= k I have in front of me will have a complex layout where the features of Co= ntext for lists within lists etc. will be most useful. And there will be lo= ts of small illustrations. So I will do it in Context.

Thanks as a= lways for the help from this list.
