The main manual on ConTeXt give a number of different ways to change
font sizes (if I understand it correctly):
1. {\switchtobodyfont[18pt] text}
2. {\tfx font size ??}
3. {\xii some font}
What are the advantages of each? I would think that option (1) would
be the simplest and clearest to use.
Thanks
Paul

Consider 1 vs. 2 if your editor or journal said, ``No, we don't want
12pt text, we want 10pt text.'' If you've used option 1, you will have
to go through and find every instance of where you've changed the size,
whereas option 2 will scale with you.
