Uppercase Greek in large fontsize

Uppercase Greek in large fontsize

[Shen Chen]

Hi all,

I had a problem with typesetting uppercase Greek in large fontsize.
I am doing a screen presentation so I want to work with 18pt body font size.
But uppercase greek letters all disappear whenever I use anything bigger
than 12pt. All small case greek letter are fine, though. Wondering if there
is a simple fix to it. Thanks a lot!

\setupbodyfont[roman,18pt]
\starttext
Hello world!
$$\delta \Delta \alpha \Alpha \gamma \Gamma $$
\stoptext

Best regards,
Shen Chen

Thanks for the suggestion.
But \definebodyfontenvironment doesn't seem to have any effect.
I tried it on live.contextgarden.net, \Delta appear like a \prime.
