Hi all,
I want to set the font size by using the dimension variable, but it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
\definemeasure[AAA][20pt]
\newdimen\BBB \BBB=20pt
\starttext
TEXT
% don't work
\switchtobodyfont[\measure{AAA}]
AAA
% don't work
\switchtobodyfont[\the\BBB]
BBB
% ok
\switchtobodyfont[20pt]
TEXT 20pt
\stoptext

Dmitriy

Hi Dmitriy,
the size-related arguments to \switchtobodyfont and
\setupbodyfont aren’t real TeX dimensions but identifiers for
predefined bodyfont sets. Example:
\def\mainfontsize{20pt}
\definebodyfontenvironment [\mainfontsize]
\starttext
TEXT
\switchtobodyfont [\mainfontsize]
TEXT 20pt
\stoptext
See this thread for some background info:

Best regards,
Philipp

Sorry for the self-reply, but I just remembered that I already
wikified the topic:

Thanks, Philipp!
Now I realized that before the first use of "switchtobodyfont" I need to write "definebodyfontenvironment". In this case, everything is fine.
I also found another way without definebodyfontenvironment:
\definemeasure[AAA][20.123pt]
\newdimen\BBB \BBB=25.127pt
\starttext
TEXT
% ok
\normalizebodyfontsize\normalizedAAA{\measure{AAA}}
\switchtobodyfont[\normalizedAAA]
AAA \normalizedAAA
% ok
\normalizebodyfontsize\normalizedBBB\BBB
\switchtobodyfont[\normalizedBBB]
BBB \normalizedBBB
\stoptext
Is this code correct? Or it's better for some reason using "definebodyfontenvironment"?
