Your example is a bit difficult to test here because it's 
windows-centric, I don't have Arial on my system. But by looking at it, 
you should have something like this in your file before setting the fonts:

\starttypescript [sans] [default] [size]
\definebodyfont [16pt] [ss] [default]
\stoptypescript
\definebodyfontenvironment[16pt]

and so on for other arbitrary sizes. ConTeXt doesn't define complete 
environments for every imaginable size (but I imagine Wolfgang may come 
up with a clever solution within his module).
