definebodyfont vs. definebodyfontenvironment

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Dear wizards of ConTeXt,

may I bother you with a small question about my typescripts (yes,  
that is a minor obsession with me...).

I have two fonts defined in typescripts, font bar is scaled at a  
certain factor to match the size of font foo. If I specify an  
"unusual" size for the bodyfont (say 19.5pt), I have to put these  
lines in my preamble:

\definebodyfontenvironment[19.5pt]

\starttypescript [serif] [default] [size]
   \definebodyfont
     [19.5pt] [rm] [default]
\stoptypescript

and I get the output I want, but alas, not in the footnotes: there,  
font bar is not scaled. Would it help to add the size of the footnote  
font in these definitions explicitly? And what would this size be (I  
thought it was "small" which should default to 19.5/1.2=13.83, but  
adding 13.8pt didn't work)? I tried to read font-ini.tex, but this line

            {\doifdefined{\s!default########1####1}

made my head explode...

Thanks, and best

Thomas

In general, yes.

It is the token "small", but it would be easier to set it to an
explicit value. If you use

    \setupfootnotes[bodyfont=14.4pt]

you don't even need a \definebodyfontenvironment, because it is
predefined. (untested)

Cheers,
Taco

Taco, great, this seems to do the job! I think I will now be able to  
release a new version of my Greek module (and apologies to Matthias  
Weber, with this new version, Gentium will be included, so you  
wouldn't have had all the trouble).

Thanks, and best
