Dear list,
probably I'm just missing something obvious. How can I scale the math
font size to match the text font size locally? In the following MWE
text is scaled to 10pt but math still appears at 12pt.
\starttext
{\tfx ABC $DEF$ GHI\par}
\stoptext
Cheers, Henri

So, if you want to change the font size of an entire paragraph, use \switchtobodyfont described below in Complete Font Change. However, it is fine to use them as style directives in setup commands, that is, using them as an option for style=... in any setup command that accepts style option. " Please feel free to change the phrasing if it is not clear.
