This is getting interesting now. I already do as you say, but a
bit differently: I’m defining font sizes on the fly, however they
are created from dimensions, so my macros actually expand to
something like:

········································································
\definebodyfontenvironment[42.0pt] %% a dozen times
\starttext
\switchtobodyfont[42.0pt]          %% hundreds of times
%\switchtobodyfont[42pt]           %% <- this works, though
foo
\stoptext
········································································

Which then results in this warning:
········································································
fonts           > bodyfont 42.0pt is defined (can better be done global)
········································································

Although the size has been „defined“. My problem appears to be
that I’m abusing dimensions as makeshift floats to calculate
relative font sizes, interlinespace etc. via \dimexpr. Hadn’t
thought about \switchtobodyfont expecting integers.

TeX number types can be confusing.

Thanks for the advice. Best regards
Philipp
