Ah, thanks. Using \setupbodyfontenvironment as the second command did 
the trick.

I guess there is no easy way of directly calling a specific font at a 
specific size? No worry, this sort of solution will allow me to do what 
I need for now. Thanks Hans.

chinese in mkii is kind of special, i.e. all kind of mappings to ranges 
of fonts; in mkiv chines is easier (i still have to finish some spacing 
issues)

\blank[big]

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

Excuse me, but what 'big' stands for in \blank[big]?

Every time I use it, I expect really big white space, but get only hardly noticeable one. 

Best regards,
Vaytcheslav

How about a little appetizer from mkiv.

\definefontfeature[chinese][analyze=yes,language=dflt,mode=node,script=hani]

\starttypescript[sans][arial]
\definefontsynonym[Sans][Arial][features=chinese]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript[sans][arial]
\definefontsynonym[Arial][file:ARIALUNI][features=default]
\stoptypescript

\definetypeface[arial][ss][sans][arial][default]

\setupbodyfont[arial,ss]

% alternative to the typescript solution
%\definefont[Normal][ARIALUNI*chinese at 12pt][line=16pt]

\starttext

write your chinese text here

\stoptext

There will be no longer any big difference in defining fonts for latin or
any
other language. A few things are to achive than with the current code from
the
chinese module like opening and closing braces in vertical mode.

>From core-spa:
% In earlier versions \type{\bigskipamount} was
% \type{\ht\strutbox} and the stretch was plus or minus
% \type{.4\dp\strutbox}. Don't ask me why. The most recent
% implementation is based on a user supplied distance, which
% is by default \type{.75\normalskipamount} where
% \type{\normalskipamount} equals the current baseline
% distance.

The normal \blank is equal to \blank[big] but you can change this with
\setupblank[...]

To get bigger values for blank you write for example:

\starttext
Line 1
\blank
Line 2
\blank[2*big]
\setupblank[2\baselineskip]
Line 3
\blank
Line 4
\stoptext

The source code is your friend.

a next mkiv release will provide dynamic features ...

\definefontfeature[chinese][analyze=yes,language=dflt,mode=node,script=hani]

\starttypescript[sans][arial]
\definefontsynonym[Sans][Arial]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript[sans][arial]
\definefontsynonym[Arial][file:ARIALUNI]
\stoptypescript

\definetypeface[arial][ss][sans][arial][default]

\setupbodyfont[arial,ss]

\starttext

bla bla {\setfontfeature{chinese} MORE BLA} bla bla 
{\setfontfeature{oldstyle} 1234} bla bla

\stoptext

so, just one font instance and independent feature switches; this saves 
multiple definitions of fonts and is therefore faster and takes less 
memory too
